| IndyGunFreak | droopsta915: long time ago. | 00:04 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: //server/debrac$ /home/debrac/ITDrive cifs auto,credentials=/root/.credentials,uid=1000,user 0 0 | 00:04 |

| drkguy | Jakob_the_liar: mount it first, then you can really write to it | 00:04 |
| Jakob_the_liar | it is mounted | 00:04 |
| unop | Cpudan80, that's better | 00:05 |
| unop | Cpudan80, so what's the problem now? permissions? | 00:05 |
| jdavis__ | how do I look to see what passwords are in a keyring and delete some? | 00:05 |
| drkguy | Jakob_the_liar: gksu nautilus | 00:05 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: I can't write anything to the drive | 00:05 |
| Jakob_the_liar | hence why it says /dev/sdb on /media/sdb type vfat | 00:05 |
| fogobogo | matrix: check you configuration | 00:05 |
| fogobogo | *your | 00:05 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: /home/debrac/ITDrive is owned by me, and chmoded appropriately | 00:05 |
| tsukasa_ | okay, so will LVM work with grub and boot the kernel without any special linux magic? | 00:05 |
| unop | Cpudan80, have you checked both the share and directory permissions on the server? | 00:05 |
| Jakob_the_liar | what is that supposed to do drkguy | 00:05 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: Also The files look weird, if I do an ls -l -- they all have yellow backgrounds with green text | 00:06 |
| Jakob_the_liar | that just opens up nautilus | 00:06 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: Yes, it works fine in windows | 00:06 |
| fogobogo | matrix: there should be something like "play stream with this app" . and its set to xmms. | 00:06 |
| Mauricio | #ubuntu-es | 00:06 |
| fogobogo | matrix: so. change it. | 00:06 |
| drkguy | Jakob_the_liar: it allows you to move to browse files as root | 00:06 |

| Jakob_the_liar | cp: cannot create regular file `/media/sdb/Resume.odt': Read-only file system | 00:07 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: The credentials file has dir_mode=0700 and file_mode=0700 is that right? | 00:07 |
| carandraug | droopsta915: yes you can. Check if unrar is installed | 00:07 |
| matrix | i can not find that where to change my xmms settings on streamtuner | 00:07 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: with the appropriate login information obviously | 00:07 |

| Syco54645_AAO | can someone please direct me to a guide on making deb files from directory structures | 00:08 |
| matrix | no its not | 00:09 |
| carandraug | droopsta915: it's in the synapctic package manager. Run "aptitude search unrar" You must have an i (of installed) before it or a p (from purge) if not | 00:09 |
| histo | Syco54645_AAO: what are you trying to do? | 00:09 |

| matrix | what | 00:09 |
| unop | Cpudan80, i am not sure the credentials file supports dir_mode and file_mode .. in anycase, why don't you put these options in fstab ? | 00:10 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: I could | 00:10 |

| Kai_wp | How can I mount an iso larger than 4 GBs? I notice Ubuntu calls it invalid. I tried with a much smaller ISO and it worked. | 00:12 |

I've been trying NFS but not having very good luck | 00:13 |
| carandraug | carandraug: no problem. Check if it's working. If for some reason you can't, you can always use the terminal | 00:13 |

| matrix | when i double click on listen to a .m3u.file nothing happens | 00:14 |

| matrix | when i double click on listen to a .m3u.file nothing happens | 00:15 |

| lolufail | does the standard mkinitramfs command detect a xfs over lvm over dm-crypt over md-raid setup? | 00:15 |
| tsukasa_ | unop: okay, but / will work on a lvm partition? the reason im asking is because i actually want / on a raid0 partition but its not booting | 00:15 |

| superrad | usb: whats your question? | 00:17 |
| carandraug | !ask | usb | 00:17 |
| ubot5 | usb: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 00:17 |
| unop | ivx, put both users in a common group .. make that group owner of the directory and mount it under your home directories (see the --bind option to mount for that) | 00:17 |
| usb | when in my external harddrive, it no longer is recognized by ubuntu | 00:17 |
| usb | i run fdisk -l and it doesn't even show up | 00:17 |
| usb | any ideas on why this is? it worked before | 00:17 |
| unop | ivx, you might also like to chmod g+s /that/directory to make life a little easier | 00:17 |
| carandraug | usb: did you removed it unsafely from windows last time you used it? | 00:18 |
| unop | tsukasa_, sure, that's possible too | 00:18 |
| nachomania | Hello! | 00:18 |

| tsukasa_ | unop: do you need to do anything special? i got to grub with / on raid0 and it says it cant boot from it | 00:18 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: without the UID part it wont let me ls into the drive | 00:18 |

| unop | usb, did you try sudo fdisk -l | 00:19 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: I changed it to uid=$UID | 00:19 |
| stephen_ | I'm PREPARING to install the nvidia video driver, and it says I need to first stop the "X-Server" and enable VGA mode by default. Can someone help me do this? | 00:19 |

| lolufail | where is a more technical channel for ubuntu questions? | 00:19 |
| unop | Cpudan80, perhaps the permissions on the mount point need to be adjusted | 00:19 |
| kitche | superrad: just be easier to use dd really for that | 00:19 |
| unop | lolufail, this would be it. | 00:19 |
| yuri_ | im having no luck with my contact list. i can browse the web from my phone.. anybody know a way to sync my gmail contacts? | 00:19 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: the permissions on the mount point itself are 777 for my user | 00:19 |
| superrad | kitche: whats dd? | 00:19 |
| nachomania | Could someone running ubuntu on a laptop pm me? | 00:19 |
| unop | Cpudan80, are you owner of that directory? | 00:19 |
| Kai_wp | Does anyone know how to mount an iso larger than 4 GBs on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron 32-bit? | 00:20 |
| carandraug | usb: you have to run fdisk -l as sudo. I noticed you didn't | 00:20 |
| nachomania | thank! | 00:20 |
| lolufail | unop: huh. good thing there are so few noobs in here... | 00:20 |
| usb | carandraug: it used to be under /dev/sdb1, but now it isn't. the only thing that shows up are /dev/sda1,2,5 .. which is my internal harddrive | 00:20 |
| unop | Kai_wp, i don't think there is a limit if you mount under loop? what have you tried so far? | 00:20 |
| carandraug | usb: you said you ran "fdisk -l" You have to run it with sudo | 00:20 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: yep | 00:21 |
| [SCKESLUNA] | anyone know how to put the clock back in the top right corner, i deleted it from the panel on accident, and i put it back on, but it won't go back to where it was | 00:21 |

| kitche | superrad: disk druid is what it's called it's like a disk copy program kinda man dd to learn more really | 00:21 |
| usb | carand: yeah, sorry. my bad. i actually ran 'sudo fdisk -l"sorry about the nonexactness | 00:21 |
| unop | Cpudan80, not sure why that is .. you should atleast be able to ls files .. but anyway . | 00:21 |
| ja | Does anyone know how I would go about getting my laptop to recognize the RAM I put into it? | 00:21 |
| Kai_wp | unop: I was using some software called Kiso to mount it. Although, even when I simply try to open the iso in Ubuntu it calls it invalid. Even though a windows ISO rerader can read it without problems. | 00:21 |
| carandraug | [SCKESLUNA]: right click on it and select move | 00:21 |
| superrad | kitche: thanks i'll have a look now | 00:21 |
| Kai_wp | unop: Should I be using the "mount" command? | 00:22 |
| Abztrakt23 | partitioning is driving me nuts | 00:22 |
| Cpudan80 | unop: it can ls (well, for now anyway) - but in tNautilus it does weird things | 00:22 |
| mano | hello all... I have a question about ubuntu and swap space on disk... i have a laptop with 2gb ram, do i need a swap space? can i just disable it? | 00:22 |
| [SCKESLUNA] | won't go back to the very end of the toolbar | 00:22 |
| unop | Kai_wp, try mounting it like this. sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/iso | 00:22 |
| Kai_wp | unop: Alright, but this won't extract the iso, right? | 00:22 |
| carandraug | [SCKESLUNA]: right click on the other ones and make sure they're not "locked to panel" | 00:22 |
| unop | Kai_wp, no | 00:22 |
| evilryu | it | 00:23 |
| Kai_wp | unop: Alright, I'll try. :) | 00:23 |

| [SCKESLUNA] | alright, is there any way to have VLC start up immediately after you click a .wmv file on a website, instead of having the download window come up? i click on "do this automatically" but it still comes up, i did the same thing with a .mpeg and the download window doesn't come up anymore on those | 00:31 |

| Kai_wp | I'm not sure if this is the place to ask. But, does anyone know if resizing my Wubi's "partition" to be larger is risky when dual-booting with windows xp pro sp2 on an NTFS HD? | 00:43 |
| bofh80 | Kai_wp, well it depends what you mean by risk. have you got your valuble data backed up? if not it's a big risk :) | 00:43 |
| Flannel | Kai_wp: Wubi doesn't dual boot "really", it sits in a file inside your windows partition. Resizing it should be fine, there's no danger of breaking your windows partition (just running out of space) | 00:44 |
| FarmCretin | howdy, how can i use ls exclusively? i want to list all the files that do NOT end in *.nfo so far im thinking it would look something like ls ! '*.nfo' | 00:44 |

| palomer | how can I tell the filesystem? | 00:44 |
| carandraug | cutandbrused: yes | 00:44 |
| Kai_wp | Flannel: Alright. Although, I assume I'll have to use "PartedMagic" to increase the "partitions" size? | 00:45 |
| jrib | FarmCretin: no, pipe to grep. Alternatively, use a nice shell like zsh. | 00:45 |
| palomer | ls | grep "*[^o"] might work | 00:45 |

| Barqs | Guys, even with VLC media player the video is still choppy. It's not pixelated, it's not slowed down or unresponsive, however the screen flickers black screens every once millisecond. | 00:45 |

| carandraug | cutandbrused: according to winehq, it runs flawlessly (platinum medal for every review with Diablo II, with and without LoD) | 00:45 |
| Flannel | Kai_wp: No, no. I'm... actually not sure how you'd increase wubi's size. But theres *no* parititoning at all. | 00:45 |
| danbhfive | Barqs: maybe you should try totem-gstreamer instead of xine | 00:46 |
| * cyphase is so annoyed when open-source projects make GUIs for Windows and Mac, but not Linux, because "Linux people know how to use the command line" | 00:46 | |
| Barqs | danbhfive: The problem is I'm not sure exactly which one the players are using... I have both installed. | 00:46 |
| danbhfive | Barqs: remove totem-xine | 00:46 |
| linduxed | is there a nice app that could work as an alarm clock? | 00:46 |
| carandraug | palomer: run "sudo fdisk -l" to know the filesystem | 00:46 |

| warnush | can anyone tell me where the kernel source tree is (or what the synpatic package is) ? | 00:47 |

| Flannel | FarmCretin: write it out? | 00:47 |
| nutricycle | cyphase when they start doing that linux will spread like wildfire, especially now there is wubi (although it wont let you install on another HD) | 00:47 |
| Flannel | FarmCretin: to a file you mean? | 00:47 |
| palomer | and how do I format a disk? | 00:47 |
| Barqs | danbhfive: It appears to be the same without xine, so I'm assuming they must be using gstreamer? | 00:47 |
| FarmCretin | Flannel: yes | 00:47 |
| Flannel | FarmCretin: ls -l | grep -v .nfo | tee filename.txt or ls -l | grep -v .nfo > filename.txt | 00:47 |

| cutandbrused | yes | 00:49 |
| StepNjump | Where can I get this? | 00:49 |
| Barqs | danbhfive: I got amarok since I use it for all my music, and it usually runs with xine, so I searched xine in synaptic and found totem-xine and installed it. | 00:49 |
| carandraug | cutandbrused: that's the configuration menu of wine. Install wine and you're ready to join battle.net | 00:49 |
| * student likes it when the gui and the cli are both good (see: apt & synaptic) | 00:49 | |
| jrib | kcman: you need to tell us the kind of archive it is | 00:49 |
| warnush | StepNjump: synaptic | 00:49 |

| warnush | StepNjump: no, run synaptic and find rsync | 00:50 |
| drkguy | The normal ubuntu kernel doesn't have ALSA | 00:50 |

| student | palomer: dont use the enter key as punctuation | 00:51 |
| carandraug | palomer: I don't think it matters to the filesystem. It matters to the OS and the Linux is case sensitive | 00:51 |
| Barqs | danbhfive: will do. | 00:51 |
| warnush | where the kernel source tree is (or what the synpatic package is) ? | 00:52 |
| carandraug | palomer: linux handles ntfs just fine now. You would have problems 2 years ago but not now. | 00:52 |
| unop | warnush, sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 00:52 |
| warnush | unop: ok, so i have that installed | 00:52 |
| student | carandraug: i dont know about that. ive had problems copying files named foo and Foo to my FAT322 ipod from ext3 on linux before. it asks if i want to overwrite the file | 00:52 |
| warnush | unop: but i cannot find it via find in the cli | 00:53 |
| unop | warnush, ls -ld /usr/src/ | 00:53 |
| cyphase | linduxed: how're you doing? | 00:53 |
| unop | warnush, err. ls -ld /usr/src/* | 00:53 |
| carandraug | student: really? hmm, maybe you're true. I've always thought it was dependent on the OS | 00:54 |
| warnush | unop: so if i am manually installing the nvidia driver, i can tell it /usr/src and it will work, or do you think i need to tell it a sub-dir under that? | 00:54 |
| carandraug | palomer: seem sI was wrong. According to student filesystem is cased sensitive. If that's the case, ntfs will be case-sensitive | 00:54 |

| ivx | hello, I'm having a problem with permission. I'm trying to share a folder and it would all be working except when someone makes a file it is read only for the group, and read and write for the owner. how can i share a folder so the whole group can read and write to it | 01:05 |
| Dewente | VipOrx, i will do it now | 01:05 |
| seba | how can I enter to a channel of ubuntu in spanish? | 01:06 |
| carandraug | [SCKESLUNA]: I don't get what you want? Shortcuts to applications in the desktop? Change icon of folders in the desktop? Something else? | 01:06 |
| waynew | ivx: chmod g+rw I believe | 01:06 |
| jrib | seba: /join #ubuntu-es | 01:06 |
| Dewente | sudo apt-get install libflashsupport dont work | 01:06 |
| LA_Mike_FA | bye | 01:06 |
| unop | waynew, make sure the ftp user's shell is /bin/nologin or /bin/false .. should be ok | 01:06 |
| jrib | Dewente: you don't need it | 01:06 |
| seba | thank you | 01:06 |
| [SCKESLUNA] | oh, whoops, i said the question totally wrong, i meant, does anyone know how to put the main icons on the desktop | 01:06 |
| waynew | unop: ok, thanks | 01:06 |
| VipOrX | Dewente: try flash now at youtube | 01:06 |
| ivx | waynew, but then when someone creates a new file that file is read only for the group | 01:06 |
| waynew | ivx: I'm fairly certain that | 01:07 |
| Dewente | dont work !! | 01:07 |
| carandraug | [SCKESLUNA]: could you please give me your definition of main icons? | 01:07 |
| waynew | ivx: is a problem with the user actually creating the file | 01:07 |
| unop | ivx, do you create files using nautilus? | 01:07 |
| Flannel | ivx: you need to change your default umask | 01:07 |
| [SCKESLUNA] | filesystem, network, home folder | 01:07 |
| VipOrX | you closed firefox and went to youtube? does about:plugins in firefox show flash? | 01:07 |
| ivx | unop, yes i'm testing it right clicking and create file | 01:07 |
| Dewente | jrib, tell me again let me try you option | 01:07 |
| Omoikane_ | okay, what is the Keyboard shortcut to load a cmd line? | 01:07 |
| carandraug | [SCKESLUNA]: it should be there by default. If not run gconf-editor in the terminal | 01:07 |
| jsn | Is there any way to find out where, in "make menuconfig", I can find a particular option... given its option name? | 01:08 |
| Flannel | [SCKESLUNA]: start gconf-editor, and go to nautilus > desktop, and theres a whole bunch of checkboxes for you | 01:08 |
| unop | Flannel, there is a bug in gio presently where it doesn't obey the umask .. so anything that uses gio has a problem | 01:08 |
| waynew | Omoikane_: do you mean the terminal? | 01:08 |
| jsn | CONFIG_IWLCORE to be specific | 01:08 |
| Omoikane_ | yes | 01:08 |
| jrib | Dewente: no, what VipOrX said will do the same thing. Let him troubleshoot that. In addition to what VipOrX asked also pastebin the output of this command: apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree | 01:08 |
| jrib | s/him/us | 01:08 |
| waynew | Omoikane_: it's not set by default in latest versions, but you can go to system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts, IIRC | 01:08 |
| nutricycle | does anyone know which is the better iso mounter? | 01:09 |
| Dewente | apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree | 01:09 |
| jrib | nutricycle: mount | 01:09 |
| ivx | unop, I tried what you said to do before, but i'm having a sharing problem, would you suggest using NFS to share files? | 01:09 |
| jrib | Dewente: write that in a terminal and then paste the output onto paste.ubuntu.com. Then give us the url | 01:09 |
| ivx | unop for just one computer? | 01:09 |
| waynew | Omoikane_: yep, it's in the "Desktop" section - Run a terminal - it's the last option | 01:09 |
| nutricycle | jrib, does it have a gui? | 01:09 |
| Dewente | ok | 01:10 |
| jrib | nutricycle: there are some nautilus scripts somewhere. I'm not aware of their names offhand though | 01:10 |
| Omoikane_ | waynew I need to load compiz because it has crashed and so I can't browse without loading it. So I just need to do compiz --replace | 01:10 |
| MarkJones | Hello could anyone help me with getting my new Nvidia GeForce 6200 AGP card working with Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 and compiz enabled? My system freezes with it enabled.Worked fine with my other geforce mx400 card.Please anyone? | 01:10 |
| unop | ivx, no NFS is overkill -- the problem is not how you have setup the share .. just the way nautilus creates files, it does not obey the umask .. so it's hard to create files/directories with the right permissions | 01:10 |
| MarkJones | Ubuntu works fine without compiz turned on however. | 01:11 |
| waynew | if alt+f2 brings up the run dialog, Omoikane_, you can check the option run in terminal | 01:11 |
| carandraug | [SCKESLUNA]: once you start gconf-editor in the terminal, go to "apps > nautilus > desktop" and tick the option volumes | 01:11 |
| damasceno | 01:11 | |
| ivx | unop, but if i was creating a file with lets say gimp would that be the correct permissions? i set the folder to g+s | 01:11 |
| damasceno | Do I need an access router for a client, I have the IP, LOGIN, and PASSWORD, as I do that | 01:11 |
| waynew | Omoikane_: or just type in xterm or whatever terminal you have installed | 01:11 |
| unop | ivx, you could modify the umask in /etc/profile to umask 002 .. that will ensure nautilus creates file properly .. but it will still struggle with directories | 01:11 |
| Dewente | jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41395/ | 01:11 |
| VipOrX | Dewente: do you have universe enabled? | 01:11 |
| unop | ivx, yea, i'm not sure .. but i am pretty sure that even gimp is affected by this bug | 01:12 |
| unop | s/yea// | 01:12 |
| VipOrX | Dewente: nevermind, I see your on Gutsy, libflashsupport is only for hardy pulseaudio issue | 01:12 |
| VipOrX | Dewente: open firefox and in the URL bar type about:plugins | 01:13 |
| ivx | unop so how fast do they usually fix bugs? | 01:13 |
| Dewente | ok | 01:13 |
| jrib | Dewente: make sure you have restarted firefox first | 01:13 |
| damasceno | Do I need an access router for a client, I have the IP, LOGIN, and PASSWORD, as I do that? | 01:13 |
| Dewente | VipOrX, ok done | 01:14 |
| unop | ivx, well, hard to say -- depends on the priority assigned to bugs .. and this one is classified as a 'low priority' one .. there's no telling, a couple of weeks perhaps | 01:14 |

| qr | can I set a umask for a paritcular directory? I.e. If I have /home/foo using the default umask, can I set a different umask that will apply to files created in /home/foo/bar (and subdirectories, such as /home/foo/bar/hats , etc)? | 01:15 |

| OmgItsAshark | so i can play games on one screen and still pidgin and the internet on the other | 01:17 |
| MarkJones | I have used gisomount.But in ubuntu its almost not needed as the File Roller can open ISOs out of the box. | 01:17 |

| jrib | sahil: #gnewsense is :) | 01:18 |
| qr | unop: I see. Is there any way to emulate this behaviour? I'd like to have a folder where all files created in that folder are 0664 ... which is I guess a bit different then setting the umask, now that I think it through. | 01:19 |
| icedevil | can someone help | 01:19 |
| jrib | icedevil: best to just ask the channel your question | 01:19 |
| VipOrX | jrib might be best to answer that, I've only used 64 bit on hardy | 01:19 |
| unop | qr, perhaps so - with ACLs | 01:19 |
| MarkJones | nutricycle did you get the IM? | 01:19 |
| markowen | sss | 01:19 |

| mike-ekim | i did that one | 01:20 |
| jrib | Dewente: it's not a problem. Does it still not work after what VipOrX suggested? | 01:21 |
| danbhfive | !medibuntu > mike-ekim | 01:21 |
| unop | qr, that won't really change the unix permissions to 664 .. but you can have some access control that emulates the unix permissions of 664 | 01:21 |

| sudobash | I need some help seriously... I am trying to get PXE working so I can do a netboot from two laptops and I have been trying to follow a walk through but I found a better one on Ubuntu forums but I think it is too late to do one because I have already set up DHCP3-Server and have it configured the only real problem is choosing which TFTP Daemon to use and how to get it working with PXE and the current DHCPD settings I have configured | 01:22 |
| sudobash | .... | 01:22 |
| jrib | mike-ekim: what if you open it in totem? | 01:22 |
| qr | unop: hmm, I see. I'd prefer to be able to force permissions (or at least force certain bits to be set) but I may be willing to settle for emulating it depending on how it's done. | 01:22 |
| icedevil | jrib, what's dmesg? | 01:22 |
| jrib | icedevil: a command | 01:22 |
| geonerd | greetings! | 01:22 |

| dunn357 | or anyoe here from yesterday? djhash? | 01:59 |
| jrib | Wisconsinliberta: be more specific. 8.04 is a stable release | 01:59 |
| VipOrX | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TitleIndex needs to be in the chan topic. This is a WONDERFUL page for 90% of the questions in here | 01:59 |
| Wisconsinliberta | 8.04, lots of packages fail to install due to dependencies it cannot install (using add/remove) | 01:59 |
| bofh80 | dunn357, cool. uh, give me a brief reminder, mighta been you i was trying to remember :P | 01:59 |
| dunn357 | yeah, light on router wouldnt come on | 02:00 |
| * gaintsura wanders in, bashes his head on the desk "help?" | 02:00 | |
| dunn357 | and on computer | 02:00 |
| dunn357 | no internet on 8.04 | 02:00 |
| bofh80 | dunn357, yeah that was it :P | 02:00 |
| dunn357 | :D | 02:00 |
| dunn357 | ok, so i installed vista and wiped the HD of ubuntu | 02:00 |
| bofh80 | dunn357, so what's been happening then | 02:00 |
| dunn357 | and internet worked just fine | 02:00 |
| bofh80 | dunn357, ouch really. how very very strange | 02:00 |
| dunn357 | then, i put in ubuntu and ran it as LiveCD, internet is working just fine! | 02:00 |
| dunn357 | have yet to reinstall tho | 02:00 |
| bofh80 | dunn357, oh dear | 02:00 |
| dunn357 | got no idea why it wouldnt work yesterday tho | 02:01 |
| unop | Wisconsinliberta, you probably don't have all the ubuntu repositories enabled. | 02:01 |
| bofh80 | dunn357, well hopefully a clean install might sort it. realtek network cards, should just work, you've got the bog standard shipped by the thousand version | 02:01 |
| gaintsura | and again, I'm back, same issue, no resolve.

| dunn357 | bofh80, the fact that the live session is working with internet fills me with hope, i might go for a dual boot configuration tho | 02:02 |
| mstef | if i split my disk into two partitions and dual boot xp..would i be able to later remove the xp partition and give the space back to the ubuntu partition..or vica versa? | 02:03 |

| cyphase | dunn357: i don't know if it's "recommended". it works, and it's supported officially. it may be a *little* slower | 02:04 |
| SeligArk1n | i dont really need anything to find files for me (most of the stuff i have is stored elsewhere | 02:04 |
| mstef | gaintsura, yes it does..but the hardware problems are being caused by ubuntu..so id rather boot xp normally and put ubuntu in vbox | 02:04 |

| Kai_wp2 | So it turns out I can't get into Ubuntu. I believe it's because I need to replace my xorg.conf file with a backup. How can I go about doing this without access to Ubuntu? | 02:28 |
| darkangel88 | I can understand for level1 support.... google would help greatly... but I've been searching for answers without success.. | 02:28 |
| darkangel88 | so in my case, no, google does not help me | 02:28 |

| Kai_wp2 | tarvid: Would that be more effective than trying to do it by editing Wubi's disk image in Windows? | 02:29 |
| darkangel88 | does events/0 sounds familiar to you ? | 02:29 |

| Gorogoth | ok | 02:30 |
| Kai_wp2 | tarvid: Nope. Is that to start rescue mode? | 02:30 |
| tarvid | Kai_wp2, never used wubi but if you can get to /etc/X11 | 02:30 |
| Gorogoth | how is everyone | 02:30 |
| tarvid | That is to switch to a shell window without GUI | 02:30 |

| IndyGunFreak | darkangel88: do you have an ipod problem? | 02:30 |
| Kai_wp2 | tarvid: I found I software that reads the Wubi image, but won't let me write. So maybe I'll try "rescue mode". Is it just like the terminal? | 02:30 |
| darkangel88 | nope | 02:30 |

| Terralthra | I modprobed ath_pci, but it isn't showing any interfaces under ifconfig | 02:33 |
| regeya | you're sure it's really an executable gunas? | 02:33 |
| regeya | what pike_ said | 02:33 |
| regeya | Gorogoth: unfortunately, support for flash in linux is terrible | 02:33 |
| regeya | Gorogoth: I even have that problem under OS X, though, so we're not alone | 02:33 |
| lolufail | does the standard mkinitramfs command detect a xfs over lvm over dm-crypt over md-raid setup? | 02:33 |
| tarvid | Flash works, I hate it but it works | 02:33 |
| tarvid | Firefox should be as reliable | 02:34 |
| regeya | cripes lolufail | 02:34 |
| Gorogoth | what can i do for now regeya | 02:34 |
| tarvid | but before despair create another user and see if life improves running firefox as that user | 02:34 |

| SeligArk1n | hey my laptop keeps locking up using the HDD alot, i ghave a sneeking suspicion its indexing things | 02:47 |
| SeligArk1n | how can i srop this indexing? | 02:47 |
| ant2ne | is it indexing of swapping? | 02:47 |
| Kai_wp2 | tarvid / pike: I can't do anything at the desktop, as I have no access. When I boot it tells me it's running in low graphics mode. Then when I configure it or say continue, I get a black screen. Although, when I configured it, after 30 seconds or so my PC beeped. Coincedentaly I just modified my xorg.conf file to work with some drivers for my tablet just before. | 02:47 |
| SeligArk1n | ant2ne: i do not understand the question | 02:48 |
| Kai_wp2 | tarvid / pike: That's why I was wondering is there's some sort of console I can access before it loads the log in. | 02:48 |
| ant2ne | is your HD swapping memory? | 02:48 |

| danbhfive | Gorogoth: whats your question? | 02:49 |
| tarvid | Kai_wp2, I don't know wubi but Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will restart X and Ctrl+Alt+F6 will switch to a terminal window and Ctrl_Alt+F7 will switch back to X | 02:50 |

| ant2ne | I see the plug ins.. what one am I lookin for? | 02:57 |

| SeligArk1n | meh i will just deal with it and see if ican fix it later | 02:57 |
| qr_ | critter: make sure you got sun's java and not gnu's java | 02:57 |

| Threethan | Well, I can't connect to the internet. It shows my ethernet card (Both of them) and I change the properties to DCHP (or however you say it) and it just won't connect. | 02:58 |
| critter | I suppose. I'll try it, see if it's any better. | 02:58 |
| Threethan | I was thinking it might just be that the driver isn't installed intot he ubuntu hard drive, but is on the window hard drive. | 02:59 |

| shiloh7 | !question | 03:03 |
| ubot5 | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 03:03 |
| Finger | Anyone know of any drivers for my Logitech G5 mouse? | 03:03 |
| gaintsura | shiloh7: I've been working for 3-4 days now trying to get full screen video to function, every time I try to go full screen, I get a flicker and it returns to window mode. Direct render is disabled and I can't seem to figure out why. When I enable the ATI restricted drivers, I lose all GUI | 03:03 |
| Gorogoth | ok | 03:04 |
| ant2ne | Full Screen? Window Mode? What app is this? | 03:04 |
| shiloh7 | giantsura, ahhh, sorry, I am an Nvidia believer | 03:04 |
| gaintsura | ant2ne: any, mplayer, web browser, doesn't matter | 03:04 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | I recently installed a ubuntu linux on a 1.4ghz computer, but as I try to boot it, it takes forever....could someone help me figure out why? | 03:05 |
| ant2ne | so... video won't play in full screen in any app? | 03:05 |
| danbhfive | kcman: er, no, its my understanding that cedega is based off of wine. I just checked the appdb, and it says that diable II works | 03:05 |
| gaintsura | ant2ne: with mplayer, flv video playback is slow and choppy | 03:05 |
| gaintsura | ant2ne: nope | 03:05 |
| ant2ne | nvidia is the way to go | 03:05 |
| ant2ne | what type of card? | 03:05 |
| danbhfive | Finger: whats the problem with your mouse? I have a G5 laser mouse | 03:05 |
| Finger | not so much a problem as a lack of functionality | 03:05 |
| ant2ne | I think Gorogoth is is a bot | 03:05 |
| Kai_wp | Alright, using rescue mode to "Fix the X Server" worked. I'm back into Ubuntu. But now Compiz Fusion won't work. It's installed, but when I run "compiz --replace" from the terminal I get "No whitelisted driver found. aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity". How can I fix this? | 03:05 |
| shiloh7 | G5 rules. :P | 03:05 |
| Finger | like the software DPI modes, the side scrolling etc | 03:06 |
| kcman | danbhfive yeah part 2 works and it also is supposed to work in cedega but i havent tried to install that one i was trying to get the first one to work, i am fan of the first one | 03:06 |
| ant2ne | Kai, want ubuntu version you using? | 03:06 |
| gaintsura | ant2ne: ATI X1200 Series | 03:06 |
| shiloh7 | giantsura, ewwwwwwwww | 03:07 |
| gaintsura | shiloh7: not my choice, its a laptop | 03:07 |
| ant2ne | I hear ATI is not the best linux friendly | 03:07 |
| Kai_wp | ant2ne: Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron 32-bit | 03:07 |
| danbhfive | Finger: yeah, I don't know of a solution to the soft. DPI, and I never use the side scrolling, but in theory, those are just buttons | 03:07 |
| gaintsura | ant2ne: it was working fine about 4 months ago, and between the system upgrades it stopped working | 03:07 |
| afallenhope | Anyone.. know where my phone's path would be? lsusb picks it up.. | 03:07 |
| bofh80 | ant2ne, that has changed since AMD take over. ATI themselves never bothered with drivers for linux | 03:07 |
| ant2ne | giant, could that be a codec issue? | 03:08 |
| danbhfive | Finger: you should be able to map them to things, something, somewhere, not sure really | 03:08 |
| Finger | you'd think it would be something that would be auto detected and utilized in proper situations | 03:08 |
| ant2ne | were you using automatix? | 03:08 |
| gaintsura | ant2ne: I don't think so. I cannot get catalyst to work either since the upgrade, and no I was not | 03:08 |
| Finger | I'm a newbie... mapping things isnt something I have any clue on lol | 03:08 |
| shiloh7 | giantsura, you tried envyNG? | 03:08 |
| gaintsura | bofh80: agreed | 03:08 |
| ant2ne | Kai, can you not click Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Settings | 03:08 |
| Finger | hell I understand so little about Linux I feel like I need a degree just to turn off the computer now =P | 03:08 |
| gaintsura | shiloh7: yes, and those didn't get me any closer, actually after envyng I had to remove ALL of the display drivers and start from basically nothing | 03:08 |
| shiloh7 | giantsura, :(, i am sorry to hear that | 03:09 |
| === cutandbrused is now known as NiceGuy | ||
| danbhfive | Finger: well, each mouse button is numbered, so when you left click, Linux is told that mouse button one was pressed. The side scroll buttons are like 7 and 8 or something like that. Most linux apps use one the first 3, which is the problem | 03:09 |
| gaintsura | shiloh7: the sad part is, this all stemmed from not being able to open catalyst to adjust anti alias settings because full screen video was pixelated, now I can't even get full screen video =( | 03:10 |
| cutandbrused | hello | 03:10 |
| ant2ne | hi | 03:10 |
| danbhfive | Finger: Im gona look into something... | 03:10 |
| Kai_wp | Also, when I try to set the "Visual Effects" to "Extra" it says that desktop effects can't be enabled. | 03:10 |
| danbhfive | kcman: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3498&iTestingId=22891 | 03:11 |
| shiloh7 | giantsura, i have a dell alppy with ATI, but i dont push it | 03:11 |
| tyg13 | Kai_wp: Do you have a good graphics card? | 03:11 |
| Finger | kk | 03:11 |
| tyg13 | Kai_wp: Do you think it could handle it? | 03:11 |
| gaintsura | shiloh7: I wasn't trying to push it, I was just trying to make it so when I watched a streaming movie it wasn't pixelated | 03:11 |
| shiloh7 | giantsura, no, i meant me cause ati and linux dont have a great relationship | 03:12 |
| gaintsura | shiloh7: it worked fine previously | 03:12 |
| ant2ne | Kai, have you ever gotten compiz to play nice? | 03:12 |
| tyg13 | kai_wp are you still there? | 03:12 |
| mochabcha | does anybody know anything about blender here | 03:13 |
| mochabcha | mine won't open | 03:13 |
| kcman | danbhfive ok so you want a cookie, nah i am only playing thanks for showing me that, and that i also wasted 45 bucks today dam i am totally lost still with linux i still have so much more to learn... | 03:14 |
| shiloh7 | giantsura, im at a loss, i have no advice | 03:14 |
| ant2ne | blender? You open the top... drop in ice and spirits and fruit.... | 03:14 |
| gaintsura | shiloh7: =( no one seems to | 03:14 |
| Kai_wp | tyg13: Yes, an XFX Nvidia 8600 GT XXX 256MB. | 03:14 |
| shiloh7 | :( | 03:14 |
| ant2ne | sorry giant... ATI not friendly | 03:14 |
| gaintsura | shiloh7: I've tried literally everything I can, talked to at least 15 people | 03:14 |
| ant2ne | sounds like you tried to fix noe problem and ran into aother | 03:15 |
| gaintsura | ant2ne: it was working fine before, and now it doesn't at all | 03:15 |
| nutricycle | is it possible to install native video drivers in a virtual machine? | 03:15 |
| gaintsura | ant2ne: exactly | 03:15 |
| Kai_wp | tyg13: Compiz Fusion worked perfectly before I replaced my xorg.conf with the generic one in rescue mode. | 03:15 |
| danbhfive | kcman: no, I dont want I cookie! I was trying to help : ( really. How did you loose $45? I don't get whats happening... | 03:15 |
| cup0beans | does anyone know why when i get a large amount of traffic through my connection my wireless would stay connected but the internet drops? it only happens with wireless | 03:15 |
| tyg13 | Kai_wp: Did you make any changes to the xorg.conf before restoring it? | 03:15 |
| ant2ne | Kai: DOH!!! Did you make a back up? | 03:15 |
| ant2ne | Some files should be auto backed up before editing. IMO | 03:16 |
| kcman | danbhfive it is 45 for the account with Cedega and i was dumb and paid them thinking that it included customer support, guess the joke is on me lol and i am not trying to pick a fight or mean to come accross mocking i was really being serious thank you really! :) | 03:16 |
| Kai_wp | tyg13: The only intentional changes was that modified it to work with my tablet. I was following a tutorial. But it wasn't so specific about where to paste things. :P | 03:16 |
| nodoubt | can bind run correctly from var/lib/named/etc ? is this a newbie friendly location for bind to live? | 03:17 |
| Kai_wp | I just enabled my video cards drivers. So I'm going to reboot. Although I'd like to know, is it risky to use CTRL+ALT+Backspace to reboot faster? | 03:17 |
| tyg13 | Kai_wp: Just backup normally, we don't really want to screw things up even more | 03:17 |
| qr_ | Kai_wp: no, not risky, but ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't reboot | 03:17 |
| tyg13 | Kai_wp: restart* | 03:17 |
| aglio2 | hey, I'm having some trouble using aptitude to install the software I want | 03:17 |
| ant2ne | CNTL+ALT+BKSPACE is not reboot/restart | 03:17 |
| aglio2 | should I not be using aptitude? | 03:17 |
| ant2ne | it only restarts X | 03:18 |
| Kai_wp | So what would a full reboot do that restarting X wouldn't? | 03:18 |
| tyg13 | aglio2: What software do you want to install? | 03:18 |
| Kai_wp | Quite a bit? | 03:18 |
| aglio2 | postgresql 8.3 to start out | 03:18 |
| tyg13 | Kai_wp: Reinitialize everything | 03:18 |
| ant2ne | ummm everything non graphical | 03:18 |
| ant2ne | LOL | 03:18 |
| qr_ | Kai_wp: restart everything that runs on your computer that isn't X | 03:18 |
| Kai_wp | Alright, I'll do a full reboot from now on then. :P Thanks. | 03:18 |
| * Kai_wp reboots | 03:18 | |
| aglio2 | but I can't find the packages -- when I search for "postgresql" i get a list of 220+ packages | 03:19 |
| ant2ne | You need not do a full reboot often in Linux | 03:19 |
| aglio2 | which *don't* include postgresql-server | 03:19 |
| danbhfive | kcman: cool. I don't know much about cedega, except that it is based on wine. I'm not trying to convert you particularly, I just figured that since its the same code base, the wine support might work for cedega. But for $45, you probably should get some sort of support. I would email them, anyway, good luck, and happy gaming! | 03:19 |
| aglio2 | the search doesn't appear to work | 03:19 |
| tyg13 | aglio2: Have you tried Add/Remove? | 03:19 |
| qr_ | aglio2: try theaptitiudesearchcommand | sort | less | 03:19 |
| tyg13 | aglio2: or Synaptic? | 03:19 |
| aglio2 | tyg13: it's a hosted server. I'm limited to commandline | 03:19 |
| ant2ne | my understanding is that cadega is an off-shoot of wine. cadega kicks some of its code and $$ to wine | 03:20 |
| tyg13 | aglio2: Oh. Okay | 03:20 |
| aglio2 | hmmm | 03:20 |
| aglio2 | I'm thinking aptitude is a loss | 03:20 |
| aglio2 | broken | 03:20 |
| tyg13 | aglio2: Use sudo aptitude search postgresql | 03:20 |
| aglio2 | I'm root | 03:20 |
| ant2ne | how do you install aptitude LOL | 03:20 |
| tyg13 | aglio2: Then just use aptitude search postgresql | 03:20 |
| wickedpuppy | hi guys , i am wondering how do I give access to a friend? I am getting invalid template error | 03:20 |
| tyg13 | wickedpuppy: Root access? | 03:21 |
| ant2ne | what access? | 03:21 |
| ant2ne | Kai is back | 03:21 |
| aglio2 | tyg13: just so you know, that gives me a *completely* different list than aptitude curses interface gives me | 03:21 |
| Kai_wp | Tis a success. :) | 03:21 |
| ant2ne | oh? | 03:21 |
| ant2ne | you got compiz up? | 03:21 |
| ThOuGhtFuL | o/ | 03:22 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | I have a question ppl: if I install Ubuntu and then restart why does it not boot up? | 03:22 |
| Kai_wp | Ya, I just ran "compiz --replace". Although it complains of an incorrect value somewhere, it did that before too. Yet it still works. | 03:22 |
| tyg13 | Kai_wp: I had the same problem, I just didn't know to check the drivers :) | 03:22 |
| ant2ne | Then do a sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bk | 03:22 |
| wickedpuppy | tyg13, no no ... in one of the channel here ... not on my machine | 03:22 |
| wickedpuppy | :P | 03:22 |
| tyg13 | wickedpuppy: So IRC access? | 03:22 |
| Kai_wp | tyg13: I Googled the exact error message and found a topic on it marked "solved". Although the solution wasn't to check your drivers, when someone mentioned them I checked to see if mine were enabled. :) | 03:23 |
| wickedpuppy | tyg13, yes | 03:23 |
| aglio2 | feh, what's the search tool for apt-get again? | 03:23 |
| Pici | wickedpuppy: #freenode would be the best place to ask, thats the irc network that you are on. | 03:23 |
| ant2ne | frankly, I don't kow how I got in IRC | 03:23 |
| wickedpuppy | ah ... | 03:23 |
| tyg13 | wickedpuppy: Don't ask in here :) | 03:23 |
| tyg13 | wickedpuppy: I honestly have no idea on IRC channel modes and such | 03:23 |
| nodoubt | BiNaRyCoDe: it is a bug in ubuntu install - d/l updates - then check for updates again - then try restart | 03:23 |
| jimmio | is there a utility to edit files via terminal? | 03:24 |
| qr_ | jimmio: vim , nano, emacs, pico ... pick one | 03:24 |
| ant2ne | nano | 03:24 |
| tyg13 | jimmio: nano, vim, emacs | 03:24 |
| ant2ne | i like nano | 03:24 |
| wickedpuppy | tyg13, i think i been asking this question everywhere and they told me to come here ... my mistake is i didn't say its irc access ... silly me | 03:24 |
| ant2ne | ?? | 03:24 |
| tyg13 | jimmio: although nano is arguably the easiest for newbies | 03:24 |
| aglio2 | what I really want is YAST's curses interface combined with apt-get's installation | 03:24 |
| ant2ne | =-P | 03:24 |
| ant2ne | It gets the job done fast and easy | 03:25 |
| Flannel | aglio2: try aptitude | 03:25 |
| bofh80 | lol | 03:25 |
| Xcerca | anybody know a good place to find grub-gfxboot menus ? | 03:25 |
| qr_ | ant2ne: you just need to learn how to search properly with apt-get ... sort and grep are your friends inthis case. | 03:25 |
| aglio2 | Flannel: joke? | 03:25 |
| Xcerca | i want to change mine | 03:25 |
| jimmio | renaming files? =P | 03:25 |
| Flannel | aglio2: no. run aptitude with no arguments. It opens a curses TUI | 03:25 |
| ant2ne | Honestly, how long do you want to sit at terminal text editor? | 03:25 |
| ant2ne | qr? what does apt-get have to do with anythng? | 03:26 |
| aglio2 | Flannel: I just got through bitching about how broken the aptitude interface is | 03:26 |
| Flannel | aglio2: alright, well, I just got here. so, fair enough. I have no idea what yast's interface is like. | 03:26 |
| kcman | danbhfive you still here? | 03:26 |
| ant2ne | danbhfive hasn't said nothing in awile | 03:27 |
| aglio2 | Flannel: easy to use | 03:27 |
| danbhfive | heh, im here : P | 03:27 |
| stepanstas | Hello. So Ubuntu recently died on me, but i was able to recover all the files. I think i had some problems with my harddrive. | 03:28 |

| stepanstas | I was wondering if i should run tests to see if i should reinstall on this one and check for bad sectors, or get a new one? | 03:28 |
| BunTai | how to run on root? | 03:28 |
| ant2ne | stepanstas: that reminds me. Windows has a chkdsk /R function that recovers bad sectors of a hard drive... What is the linux version of this? | 03:28 |

| BunTai | my wireless connection still cant connect | 03:29 |
| ant2ne | wireless + linux = vodoo... JK | 03:30 |
| stepanstas | ant2ne, I think it was fsck and i think i tried that once. But then if failed again and i wasnted to know if these were physical bad sectors or recoverable | 03:30 |
| Dabbu | how to update to install driver in ubuntu ? | 03:30 |

| Dabbu | any hardware driver .. | 03:30 |
| Dabbu | like display driver | 03:30 |

| Varange | hi there | 03:31 |
| djhash | dft: why are you installing nfs-common | 03:31 |
| Dabbu | working but i find that the display is not clear | 03:31 |

| dft | djhash: seems required for mounting nfs shares | 03:32 |
| sanassar | I'm bored.Anyone need some problems solved? | 03:32 |
| stepanstas | ant2ne, i dont even know if there is a difference between sectors and blocks | 03:32 |
| Varange | sanassar: me pls | 03:32 |
| sanassar | Varange:What do you need | 03:33 |
| Varange | sanassar: i have just installed ubuntu-server, and i can't get the xserver to run. I have installed kdm, gdm, xserver-xorg and kde. the reocnfigure for xserver has no section relating to video settigns at all | 03:33 |
| Varange | hi sanassar, btw :) | 03:33 |
| ant2ne | if you do a fsck --help it says "-c Check for bad blocks and add them to the badblock list" | 03:33 |
| ant2ne | that sounds like what you want to do | 03:33 |
| ant2ne | if you suspect the HD is going south | 03:33 |

| djhash | dft: i dont have nfs-common installed.. and I can still mount network shares.. | 03:35 |
| ant2ne | I think the bad block list would be in the file table... so I dn't think it is checkable... not sure | 03:35 |
| dft | djhash: I'll test it out | 03:35 |
| stepanstas | ant2ne, okay. well thanks for your help. Ill try reinstalling it | 03:36 |
| ant2ne | stepanstas, I'd run fsck -c one more time | 03:36 |

| meoblast001 | how do i fix this? | 03:44 |

| ant2ne | ls ~/.local/share/Trash | 03:44 |
| cast | syndr0: well, i know the odd thing about python, so will quite a few other people :) | 03:44 |
| syndr0 | im sorry | 03:44 |
| nDuff | syndr0, that said, Python's pretty good as a general-purpose language. Do you have a more specific question? | 03:44 |
| syndr0 | i meant it more to everyone | 03:44 |
| syndr0 | usually when i come in here | 03:44 |

| tsuna27 | Ant2ne: AWN is the launcer | 03:46 |

| ansichart | jimmio, That's tidious.... do you know another work around for that. I know I can leave other audio applications open when running Windows and still be able to get audio from the Flash Plugin. | 04:09 |
| tsuna27 | '#FILE: /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu gutsy main' also should i change gutsy to hardy | 04:09 |

| gregbrady | Dr_willis, make any sense? No? | 04:09 |
| Dr_willis | gregbrady, i would check google for linux/ubuntu and the SB400 then. and the ubuntu forums perhaps. Its possible theres buggy drivers for that card. | 04:09 |
| djhash | blak: in windows lingo:. tar is equivalent to a zip file.. you need to extract it.. the files inside it..needs to be compiled and installed.. | 04:09 |
| Dr_willis | gregbrady, its like the old days perhaps when cards where 'sound blaster compatiable' :) but a lot of them were only compatiable due to their drivers. | 04:10 |

| ansichart | blak, what's your wifi card's name? wifi0? | 04:20 |
| scabflakes | Ubuntu rocks | 04:20 |
| meoblast001 | zelrikriando: how do you zoom to timeline in open movie editor? | 04:20 |
| ansichart | blak, wlan0 | 04:20 |
| ansichart | blak, ? | 04:20 |
| blak | wlan0 | 04:21 |
| Dr_willis | Barqs, or at least some extra libs and stuff was in there. :) | 04:21 |
| Barqs | Dr_willis: well this is really inconvenient .. I have medibuntu repos added, but it isn't there | 04:21 |
| mortuis99 | !wireless | 04:21 |
| ubot5 | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 04:21 |
| Barqs | and I did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:21 |
| zelrikriando | meoblast001, I just said I never used it :) | 04:21 |
| blak | is there a way you can talk 1 on 1? | 04:21 |
| meoblast001 | oh | 04:21 |
| Dr_willis | gregbrady, its a weakness of the HARDWARE makers - not linux. If they dont support linux - then linux cant support them. | 04:21 |
| ansichart | blak, alright well to get it into promisc mode simple use ifconfig wlan0 promisc | 04:21 |
| zelrikriando | meoblast001, I use Kino usually...I dont more for now so.... | 04:21 |
| scabflakes | Has anyone here successfully synced a second gen Zune to Windows within VirtualBox? | 04:21 |
| blak | k 1 sec | 04:22 |
| ansichart | blak, and to take it out of promisc mode use -promisc | 04:22 |
| zelrikriando | meoblast001, does Open Movie Editor look better? | 04:22 |
| meoblast001 | yeah | 04:22 |
| csa3d | anyone.. disable tilt wheel on a mouse? Most useless feature, ever. | 04:22 |
| === itrebal is now known as [itrebal] | ||
| ansichart | blak, and to put your card into monitor mode... use iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor | 04:23 |
| Dr_willis | Barqs, i cant find much mention of xine-faad anyehere on google either. | 04:23 |
| blak | i did promisc but it didn't give any confirmation of doing so... | 04:23 |
| ansichart | blak, And hopefully your card will let you do those things... and also send raw packets | 04:23 |
| gregbrady | Dr_willis, I understand, but from a users standpoint, it is a Linux weakness. I hope to switch over soon though.! | 04:23 |
| Barqs | Dr_willis: neither can I :S I'm not sure what libs will give me mp4 and m4a support.. I've installed just about everything I could in a "codec" search | 04:24 |
| ansichart | blak, type "ifconfig wlan0 | grep promisc" if yo see anything it worked | 04:24 |
| === PakoTM is now known as Guest15710 | ||
| Dr_willis | gregbrady, from this users standpoint its a hardware makers stupidty issue. and ive explained it to many a 'windows user' at work. :) | 04:24 |
| ansichart | You may need to take your card down first before you put it into monitor or promisc mode. ifconfig wlan0 down... but you will get disconnected | 04:25 |
| blak | nothing | 04:25 |
| Theaxiom | What packages should I download to manage hosting on ubuntu? | 04:25 |
| Dr_willis | Barqs, check medibuntu for xine, it may be a feature that needs to be compiled into the xine binary. i only recall ever installing the 'faad' libraries and i can play most everything | 04:25 |
| === Zambezis is now known as Zambezi | ||
| gregbrady | Dr_willis, I understand 100%. But as a user, if my hardware does not work, I cannot wait for the manufacturer to change. I have to go with what he supports. The way I bought it. | 04:25 |
| jimmio | Theaxiom: Hosting what? Website? Webmin works great. | 04:25 |
| ansichart | blak, you'll need to put your card down first before putting it into promisc or monitor mode I believe. Have you ever used Kismet? | 04:25 |
| chetnick | how can i view nfs share on remote machine | 04:25 |
| blak | no | 04:26 |
| Theaxiom | jimmio: Webmin is not in the repositories, do I need to download it from its own site? | 04:26 |
| ansichart | blak, well, you'll probably want that if you are going to wardrive... it's pretty essential. | 04:26 |
| blak | ansichart, can you do 1 on 1 chat somehow? | 04:26 |
| ansichart | blak, Yea. | 04:26 |
| jimmio | Theaxiom: Google is your friend. It's free, and in .deb format. | 04:26 |
| === PakoTM_ is now known as PakoTM | ||
| Dr_willis | using webmin is NOT advised. :) | 04:26 |
| Barqs | Dr_willis: The thing is, all this worked until I followed some guide on ubuntu forums to get avi files to be less choppy. It completely screwed over my flash and mp3 support. So I've fixed those, now onto m4a... | 04:26 |
| blak | HOW?!? | 04:26 |
| Theaxiom | jimmio: Thanks | 04:26 |
| Dr_willis | Barqs, heh.. i wonder what that guide could of done.. | 04:26 |
| gregbrady | Dr_willis, In other words...my fault for not buying Linux compatible hardware. | 04:27 |
| thenetduck | I tried to play chess and it tells me this: Does anyone know how to check if my accelerometer on my ThinkPad is working to protect my hard drive? | 04:27 |

| thenetduck | oops | 04:27 |
| dtolj | blak: keep it public please | 04:27 |
| thenetduck | does anyone know how to make 3d chess work? | 04:27 |
| jimmio | Theaxiom: No problem. PM if you need any help with it, I've been using it for years. | 04:27 |
| Barqs | Dr_willis: Honestly, I'm not sure but it's really getting on my nerves -_- | 04:27 |
| polygon89 | guys, this is a support channel, dont argue here | 04:27 |
| Dr_willis | gregbrady, my last laptop works better in linux then it does in vista. :) HP cant even get their own hardware support right with it.. | 04:27 |
| OlderGuy | Anyone know how to alter the size of my mouse pointer in ubuntu - it is too small - running a versa 7200 lappy and usb mouse | 04:27 |
| Theaxiom | jimmio: I have used it before on web hosting servers, thanks. :) | 04:27 |
| chetnick | pike_: thanks i know how to mount, i want to know how can i view shares | 04:27 |
| polygon89 | Dr_willis, gregbrady, take it to PM or to discussion channel | 04:27 |
| burnhamd | how do i boot windows from the grub command line? | 04:28 |
| Dr_willis | OlderGuy, i thought the gnome mouse settings had several cursors you could use.. or if using compiz - i THINK there was some mouse scale feature. | 04:28 |
| burnhamd | it is located on the second partion of the first disk of a sata drive? | 04:28 |
| chetnick | pike_: on some linux distros there is showmount utility, which i dont have on ubuntu | 04:28 |
| Barqs | Dr_willis: mp4 files differ from m4a? or are they the same? | 04:28 |
| polygon89 | m4a are audio files. | 04:29 |
| polygon89 | mp4 are video | 04:29 |
| chetnick | pike_: i was wondering is there anything similar | 04:29 |
| Barqs | ah | 04:29 |
| Dr_willis | Barqs, ive played them all in vlc. | 04:29 |

| coderipper1983 | !beer | 04:29 |
| ubot5 | Beer is always appreciated. | 04:29 |
| Barqs | so... what exactly do i need for m4a support? | 04:29 |
| gregbrady | polygon89, understood, sorry. | 04:29 |
| Barqs | quicktime? | 04:29 |
| burnhamd | never mind got it | 04:29 |
| meoblast001 | help | 04:29 |
| tester5 | !cake | 04:29 |
| Dr_willis | scabflakes, the issue i have is with vista on the laptop.. the volume controlls dont work 'right' :) ubuntu they work fine. | 04:29 |
| ubot5 | Factoid 'cake' not found | 04:29 |
| meoblast001 | how do you zoom in on the timeline in open movie editor | 04:29 |
| scabflakes | Yeah. | 04:29 |
| einstein2001 | hello | 04:30 |
| polygon89 | Barqs, installing gstreamer-restricted packages (search for gstreamer in add/remove) should give you playback support for most file formats | 04:30 |
| Jordan_U | burnhamd: Is windows the first partition on the first disk? | 04:30 |
| polygon89 | Barqs, also, playing stuff in vlc should work, and if that doesnt work, research w32codecs | 04:30 |
| burnhamd | jordan_U i fixed it | 04:30 |
| OlderGuy | Cant find anything in the gnome mouse info to do this Doc - but thanks anyway | 04:30 |
| Ponce | Anyone? I tried performing a fix to let alsa handle different sounds at once but now I can't get sound at all. I tried purging alsa-base and alsa-oss and restoring the fixed files but I still can't even get one sound to work at a time. | 04:30 |

| Omoikane__ | I have a US robotics router and I want to hack into it. I have the pass and login for it and I own and I pay for the connection. I just want to do it because I'm curious. | 04:30 |
| burnhamd | thanks though | 04:30 |
| einstein2001 | i need a little help with the workspace switcher applet | 04:30 |
| scabflakes | Dr_willis: I completely wiped Vista off of my laptop, it was making the computer run hot as Hades all of the time. With Ubuntu, I can run SETI@Home, Windows XP in virtualization, and multitask at the same time with less heat than with Vista sitting idle. Amazing OS. | 04:31 |
| PakoTM | hi... | 04:31 |
| PakoTM | wenas... | 04:31 |
| polygon89 | scabflakes, you sure your laptop isnt killing your hardrive due to the load cycle thing? | 04:31 |
| meoblast001 | ahh | 04:31 |
| coderipper1983 | that is not an ubuntu issue. that is a lack of knowledge of your router. join #hackit | 04:31 |

| polygon89 | scabflakes, as in there is an issue where ubuntu wears out your hard drive cause it parks it and unparks it rapidly, have you checked to see if your effected? | 04:32 |
| scabflakes | No. I wasn't aware that it did that. I am a Linux noob. | 04:32 |

| scabflakes | Thanks polygon89 | 04:33 |
| Dr_willis | scabflakes, ive not notuiced the load cycle issue in the latest release.. :) there was a big stink about it a year or so ago. technically it was the hard drive having over-kill default settings that ubuntu (and OTHER linux and other osss) could use. | 04:33 |
| scabflakes | :-) | 04:33 |
| tester5 | einstein2001, it's in the program gconf-editor | 04:33 |

| Dr_willis | scabflakes, hopefully the laptop/hd makers noticed the issue and fixed the issue in new hardware | 04:33 |

| Jordan_U | drhe|skt: Installing wine is easy, getting it to run your particular application can range from trivial to unbearably complex ( and sometimes impossible ) | 04:34 |
| Dr_willis | I did not think one needed to run 'winecfg' any more | 04:34 |

| Dr_willis | Belboz99, just a guess.. you need more of the qt4 developer related packages installed. | 04:48 |
| meek | ansichart: oops thats old | 04:48 |
| Belboz99 | Dr_willis: you mean like debug? | 04:48 |
| Daisuke_Ido | conky's not quite a desklet | 04:49 |
| jimmio | Belboz99: Do you have the development packages installed? | 04:49 |
| Dr_willis | Belboz99, no idea on the specifics. I would search the package manager for qt4 files that seem dev related | 04:49 |
| Belboz99 | Dr_willis: because I do have qt4-devel-tools installed | 04:49 |
| Dr_willis | Belboz99, i would look again and try installing any you dont have installed | 04:49 |
| Threethan | NickGarvey: Any general hints, or tips that I could look for? I don't get it, but I can try and figure it out with a couple of 'common reasons why' type scenerio. | 04:49 |
| Belboz99 | jimmio: yeah, I have all the dev tools, but not the debug tools | 04:49 |
| jimmio | Belboz99: is there a qt4-dev? | 04:49 |

| tester5 | einstein2001, hmm, there's also "gnome-applets" and "gnome-applets-data" you could try out too if those other ones don't work | 04:50 |

| einstein2001 | thanks tester5...its getting late here. I'll follow up tomorrow. | 05:07 |
| jimmio | ice_cream: it is if you're using the standard Ubuntu install disk... Compiz is on and in use standard now. and just adding the cofig manager all features can be turned on. | 05:07 |
| ice_cream | trojatra, probably somewhere in ~/.gnome or ~/.yourwindowmanager etc | 05:07 |

| einstein2001 | tester5, well it looks like the same problem because i tried the gdesklets switcher before i decided to revert to the gnome switcher. | 05:09 |
| RaZMataZ | anyone know how to change the little ubuntu icon next to applications to something else? | 05:09 |
| ice_cream | ja ne | 05:10 |
| trojatra | ice_cream, I can't find it. I use Gnome/Metacity/Nautilus/Compiz | 05:10 |

I had an issue awhile back with the reverse. Lost a LOT of files copying to that NTFS part. from Ubuntu. | 05:10 |
| RaZMataZ | sotec_prod, linux can (in general) read from NTSF but not write to NTSF | 05:11 |
| sam_delta | jimmio, check out truecrypt | 05:11 |
| tester5 | jimmio, I hear that the version of ubuntu coming out in October will have a readymade encrypted folder in the home directory | 05:11 |
| RaZMataZ | sotec_prod, so you should be okay to copy files to your linux partition from ntsf | 05:11 |
| Jordan_U | RaZMataZ: That hasn't been true for a while | 05:11 |
| Dr_willis | sotec_prod, if you copy files from one filesystem to anotehr.. they are copied.. thats it.. they dont 'vanish' unless you did a 'link' instead of a copy | 05:11 |
| ice_cream | trojatra, ok, hopefully someone here will know, as i dont use gnome anymore | 05:11 |
| sotec_prod | RaZ: awesome. that's what I wanted to know | 05:11 |
| tester5 | einstein2001, that sounds good then, since he says he fixed it on that page | 05:11 |

| thearthur_ | whats that package that lets you twiddle all the compiz-fusion settings like desktop cube and the like? | 05:11 |
| bofh80 | sotec_prod, you want to install ntfs-3g is you want to write to ntfs | 05:11 |
| jimmio | only reason I was wondering was the right-click option Encrypt... | 05:11 |
| RaZMataZ | Jordan_U, if it can still read.. it solves his problem. ;) | 05:11 |
| Jordan_U | RaZMataZ: ntfs-3g is included ( and used ) by most distros now | 05:11 |
| sotec_prod | Dr_Willis: I moved the files, rebooted into windows, and they were gone. | 05:12 |
| RaZMataZ | but that's good to know thanks. | 05:12 |
| wh00mp | Dr_willis, yes that is what i was looking for, just for next time so i know i can find out by hitting !cube? | 05:12 |
| wh00mp | thnks | 05:12 |

| gsevil | why I can't kill a process, like scim, "sudo kill -9 PID" but it's still there, what's the problem, I use ubuntu 8.04 | 05:13 |
| sotec_prod | that's what's so perturbing, that I have all the necessary prerequisites, and the files just vanished after moving them (should have copied first, but I trusted it) | 05:13 |
| bofh80 | sotec_prod, as a rule, you don't want to write to the ntfs, unless windows has shutdown cleanly on it. and also to run a chkdsk on the drive first. | 05:13 |
| RaZMataZ | sotec_prod, i would cp and then rm instead of mv. | 05:13 |

I was only moving files to gain space in Ubuntu, but now that I have another drive, I'd like to consolidate all of the media on my new linux drive. I just want to make sure that when I copy from NTFS to ext3, they'll stick and not die when I reboot or logout. | 05:15 |

| Finger | I need to rename a file but it says I'm not allowed, is there some admin thing I need to sign into before it will let me? | 05:25 |
| os2mac | Finger: Sudo command | 05:25 |
| ckyle | Finger - use sudo in the terminal | 05:26 |
| Finger | can I get something specific telling me sudo in the console doesnt really tell me how to do it | 05:27 |
| ckyle | launch the terminal program | 05:27 |
| ckyle | Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal | 05:27 |
| ckyle | that will launch a terminal (console program) | 05:27 |
| tester5 | Finger, go to the terminal, then type "sudo nautilus" and then you have a file browser with full permissions | 05:28 |
| legend2440 | Finger: to rename a file sudo cp <filename> <newfilename> | 05:28 |
| ckyle | At the prompt, type "sudo command_you_want_to_do" | 05:28 |
| ckyle | even better, what tester 5 said | 05:28 |
| Overand | Does anyone know what a good, current, maintained, and cross-platform (*nix console and windows probably) darknet app ala "WASTE" is? | 05:28 |
| Finger | I dont need to do a command, I'm trying to rename a file and I need some admin privledge to do so | 05:28 |
| os2mac | when it asks you for a password... enter the one you used to login. | 05:28 |
| os2mac | Finger "sudo cp filename newfilename | 05:29 |

| Khisanth | Kai_wp: yes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_color | 05:30 |
| ckyle | finger: do "sudo nautilus" from the terminal, like Tester5 suggested and you will have a file-browser window where you can rename to your heart's content | 05:31 |
| bpk | there seems to be an issue with init.d | 05:31 |

| cheesemold | Can anyone help me with my mildly atypical RAID 1 setup issue? | 05:33 |
| Overand | SecMonk: I believe there's an incompatability with 2007 | 05:33 |
| Overand | I've had trouble with it - even with 2007 in '2003 compatibility mode' | 05:33 |

| tester5 | Hey, how do I install the photo zooming software that they use on CSI? | 05:36 |
| ckyle | entropy89 - lay it on us... | 05:36 |
| Overand | SecMonk: there's also virtualbox, vmware server, etc | 05:36 |
| Gun_Smoke | tester5, it's tv | 05:36 |
| entropy89 | ckyle: again whats the website to post code? | 05:36 |
| gsevil | tester5: surely I did, first , use top to find what's eating CPU, use ps to get further info, then kill, but no work, no error, but it's still there | 05:36 |
| entropy89 | where i can input it and it outputs me a link | 05:36 |

| Graham70 | Can anyone help me with my gps (garmin) to work with ubuntu eg running a programe like map source | 05:37 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Hey guyz, could anyone plz tell me how step by step to get to the xserver configuration? | 05:37 |
| entropy89 | well i've got a messed up if else statement somewhere along this, but i cant find it at all | 05:37 |
| entropy89 | im positive its correct | 05:37 |
| tester5 | gsevil, what if you try the gnome-system-monitor (click system>administration>system monitor)... it has a process list, and you can right click and choose kill | 05:38 |
| bazhang | paste.ubuntu.com entropy89 | 05:38 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, the xserver is configured by the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. theres various tools to alter that file. Its just an ascii/text file | 05:38 |
| ckyle | it's not correct... or you wouldn't be asking, right? | 05:38 |
| Violetbass | system/systemproperties/deamons givs a authfailure! whats up? | 05:39 |
| Dr_willis | ckyle, 'very logical ' :) | 05:39 |
| ckyle | isolate the code into it's own function and then start stripping it down... you'll find the problem if you're methodical | 05:39 |
| Violetbass | is this a connflict with rcconf? | 05:39 |
| gsevil | tester5: i prefer command line. and I think that's problem. | 05:40 |
| cheesemold | Can anyone help me out with a RAID 1 issue? | 05:40 |
| entropy89 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/41446/ - towards the bottom | 05:40 |
| entropy89 | i feel like i've got a bracket misplaced but i've look it over for 15 minutes. nothin' | 05:40 |
| entropy89 | (line 56) | 05:40 |
| corinth | Alright, let's see if anyone can help me tackle this this time. :-) | 05:40 |
| tester5 | gsevil, maybe it is getting killed but then respawning right away. does the PID change every time you try to kill it? | 05:41 |
| Dr_willis | entropy89, a editor with 'folding' features comes in handy at such times. | 05:41 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | ckyle: I know its 'just' a text file but still I'm a first time linux user and I dont know how to edit the file, I just installed ubuntu and I need to configure the file in order to make it work | 05:41 |
| entropy89 | dr_willis: reccomendations? | 05:41 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, 'sudo nano /path/to/file' BACKUP THE ORIGINAL first. | 05:41 |
| corinth | I installed KDE 3 and KDE 4 through sudo apt-get install kubunt-desktop && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop, and now I want to remove both KDE 3, KDE 4, and all the packages they installed. How can I do this? | 05:41 |
| Flannel | BiNaRyCoDe: first do sudo cp /path/to/file /path/to/file.bak | 05:42 |
| Khisanth | gsevil: what is the program thta you are trying to kill? | 05:42 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | The problem is that I dont have a login prompt to type anything | 05:42 |
| Dr_willis | entropy89, ive been using geany a lot lately. colorisez and folds and has lots of neat features | 05:42 |
| tester5 | corinth, sudo apt-get remove | 05:42 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, 'alt-ctrl-f1' to get to the console perhaps? | 05:42 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | When I boot computer it boots the linux loader image then goes blank....so how can I get to the command prompt? | 05:42 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | ok | 05:42 |
| tester5 | corinth, ah nevermind, I see what you're asking | 05:43 |
| gsevil | Khisanth: I want to kill what process is eating CPU, like tracker, evolution, and restart scim to load new configuration, but I | 05:43 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, try the recovery/rescue feature from the grub menu? | 05:43 |
| corinth | tester5: As I understand it, kubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-kde4-desktop are both metapackages, and therefore removing them will only remove those packages, right? | 05:43 |
| ckyle | remove the final } - line 64 | 05:43 |
| coderipper1983 | .meetme | 05:43 |
| Dr_willis | corinth, correct. Unless you used appitude to install them | 05:43 |
| gsevil | tester5: PID was not change, that's problem | 05:44 |
| ckyle | nevermind - that closes main() | 05:44 |
| legend2440 | !puregnome | corinth | 05:44 |
| ubot5 | corinth: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » | 05:44 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Dr_willis: it does the same thing--goes blank screen, I need to configure zee file --xorg | 05:44 |
| Gun_Smoke | corinth, I would have used aptitude to install them.. | 05:44 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, if the recovery/rescue mode gives a blank screen.. then ya got a bigger issue.. It dosent spawn X if i recall correctly. so its not a xorg.conf issue. | 05:44 |
| tester5 | corinth, yeah, there is an interesting discussion about that here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=498077 | 05:45 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | By the way anyone know if a radeon 7200 video card works with ubuntu?????? | 05:45 |
| corinth | What's the big difference between using apt-get and aptitude? I typically use apt-get because it's faster for me, since I usually have a terminal open. | 05:45 |
| entropy89 | ckyle, nothin. same error, same line | 05:45 |
| gsevil | and where's ubuntu store boot script for program like scim, evolution, I want to disable them | 05:45 |
| tester5 | corinth, I think it's mentioned in that link | 05:45 |
| corinth | Yeah, just read that. Wow, I'll be smarter next time, heh. | 05:45 |
| Flannel | corinth: Theyre different programs. Aptitude has a little textmode gui if you call it with no arguments. But with arguments they're comperable. | 05:45 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, so when you selecte revovery you dont see a lot of 'text' messages go scrolling by eh? | 05:46 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | I do | 05:46 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | but | 05:46 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | I am wondering if a radeon 7200 videocard works with ubuntu | 05:46 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | it seems not to | 05:46 |
| corinth | Anyone know of a similar guide for removing KDE 4? | 05:46 |
| Jordan_U | gsevil: System -> Preferences -> Session | 05:46 |
| Dr_willis | Working with 'X' is one thing - it should work with the console, | 05:46 |
| Khisanth | gsevil: those should be in /etc/init.d but I don't see why evolution would be in there | 05:46 |
| Khisanth | gsevil: or scim | 05:47 |
| ckyle | remove curly brace at end of line 44 - ya's got an extra one there | 05:47 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Dr_willis: running recovery mode | 05:47 |
| Dr_willis | I dont use ati cards any more. so i have no idea what ones work anymore | 05:47 |
| Barqs | Guys, How would I go about adding ~/.Xmodmap to the startup? | 05:47 |
| gsevil | Jordan_U , Khisanth : I prefer command line, disable evolution cause it ate CPU 100%, and I use thunderbird | 05:48 |
| ckyle | entropy89 - remove } at end of line 44 | 05:48 |
| Barqs | It has my multimedia keys configured in there, and last thing I need is to get it to run at startup rather then manually | 05:48 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, you might want to disable the 'framebuffer' in the normal boot options. that may be why you are seeing no error messages on a normal bootup. | 05:48 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | I see error messages | 05:48 |
| Dr_willis | Barqs, i thought the normal X startup did read that file. | 05:48 |
| Khisanth | gsevil: sudo apt-get remove evolution :) | 05:48 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, thats a start at least. :) | 05:48 |
| Gun_Smoke | corinth, I believe on the forums there is a post with each package you can remove.. | 05:48 |
| Barqs | Dr_willis: Oh, it does by default? Finally something convenient :O. Btw, turns out that m4a file i was trying to play was corrupted. I wonder how that happened... Anywho, thanks for the help! | 05:49 |
| entropy89 | ckyle, damn. sure enough. why doesn't that bracket end the if (gross_pay>=0) statement though? | 05:49 |
| Dr_willis | Barqs, :) | 05:49 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Dr_willis: everytime the "Loading Hardware Drivers" appears its takes forever and then it doesnt say ok | 05:49 |
| entropy89 | ahh! it does. i had another if else fit in between! | 05:49 |
| entropy89 | ckyle, thank you sir! | 05:50 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Dr_willis: the loading hardware drivers takes forever and doesnt say ok | 05:50 |
| userbn | gaga | 05:50 |
| cheesemold | I'm requesting help for a RAID 1 array, any takers? | 05:50 |
| ckyle | entropy89 - that's what line 50 is for ;-) | 05:50 |
| vipaca | How can you zoom? | 05:51 |
| gsevil | Khisanth: what i want is to understand why I can't kill a process, and how to disable some services, not uninstall them. | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, you may need to manally install the ati/fglrx drivers from the command line. then test them with 'startx' perhaps. | 05:51 |
| neil_d | is there a way to stop a user from changing there screen saver ? | 05:51 |
| daedric | cheesemold, i'll take it. Send it to me... :D | 05:51 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Dr_willis: would a nvidia Velocity 128 work with ubuntu??? | 05:51 |
| Gun_Smoke | corinth, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | neil_d, i recall gnome and kde both having some sort of koisk/locked down settings feature.. but ive never used it. | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, it should. | 05:52 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | ok | 05:52 |
| cheesemold | daedric, I need to make a RAID 1 array where one of the drives i wish to use already has the partition i want mirrored | 05:52 |
| zSoilworker | !grub | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, most nvidia cards work better then ati | 05:52 |
| ubot5 | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 05:52 |
| entropy89 | ckyle, i knew it had to be a damned bracket somewhere! haha thanks. any good compilers you know of use the line system? | 05:52 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | great....so now I have to figure how to configure the xserver file to configure it for the nvidia velocity | 05:52 |
| daedric | gsevil, not all process can be killed... and even those that can... sometimes they enter such a bad state that even then the kernel cannot kill them. As to disable "services" i would check /etc/init.d | 05:52 |
| entropy89 | where it uses "lines" to break down if else statements and the whatnot | 05:52 |
| jimmio | alright.... now I needa have a talk with my girlfriend... she somehow got a program named "penis" into /usr/bin... and I was randomly typing things in a terminal.... and it said "I AM A PENIS!"... so I'm guessing she's learning C? =D | 05:52 |
| Khisanth | gsevil: but evolution is not a service | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx' or nvidia-glx-legacy, or nvidia-glx-new :) should do it | 05:53 |
| tester5 | neil_d, how about deleting all the other screen savers | 05:53 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, dependign on how old the card is | 05:53 |
| prince_jammys | heh | 05:53 |
| daedric | cheesemold, that should not be a issue. you would just have to reactivate the array with both the new old drive (with data) and with the new drive. | 05:53 |
| neil_d | tester5: how would I do that ? | 05:53 |
| daedric | the system SHOULD notices the diference and begin restoring the array. | 05:53 |
| daedric | alas... the actual method... depends on how are you trying to solve the RAID problem | 05:53 |
| mikedep333 | hey, does ubuntu use aiglx, or xgl, for the graphical effects? | 05:54 |
| SecMonk | jimmio: she should submit that to the testing repository. :) | 05:54 |
| daedric | you refered partition... perhaps a FD type partition... for Linux SoftRaid. | 05:54 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Dr_Willis: how can I get to the command prompt in linux? do I have to press a key combination at boot up or what? | 05:54 |
| cheesemold | daedric, what do you mean how i'm trying to solve it? I'm thinking of using 'mdadm' | 05:54 |
| blak | does this thing keep a log? | 05:54 |
| kindofabuzz | no but the internet does | 05:54 |
| djhash | blak: this thing has a name? | 05:54 |
| kindofabuzz | google irc logs | 05:55 |
| cheesemold | daedric, I don't think so, and it doesn't need to boot off it. I have a computer with 3 drives, two are the identical data drives, the third is what i boot off of | 05:55 |
| jimmio | SecMonk: Yea... needs a bit of work to make it into the repositories I think </sarcasm> | 05:55 |
| blak | djhash, does the Ubuntu server keep a log that I can read? | 05:55 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, if you boot 'normally' to X. the consoles are on the alt-ctrl-F1 through F6 screens. | 05:55 |
| djhash | blak: /var/logs | 05:55 |
| cheesemold | daedric: my problem is that every guide i've looked up has a step that instructs you to reformat the raid 1 after you make it to "make it usable" | 05:55 |
| daedric | cheesemold, question... are you restoring a array... or creating one ? | 05:55 |
| djhash | sorry.. thats /var/log | 05:55 |
| blak | thanks | 05:55 |
| Khisanth | gsevil: you can use update-rc.d to enable/disable services from the command line | 05:55 |
| Dr_willis | BiNaRyCoDe, I have no idea why the ati card is messing up the console. Could be the framebuffer. may not be.. | 05:56 |
| DOT3CH | is their an anonymous surfing app for ubuntu | 05:56 |
| kindofabuzz | blak, http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | 05:56 |
| cheesemold | daedric: creating an array where i have manually made both drives contain the data i want saved (sort of a manual raid1..) | 05:56 |
| Dr_willis | DOT3CH, 'TOR' is an anomizer proxy | 05:56 |
| ckyle | entropy89 - Anjuta has the line system with it's plug-in editor - just have to turn that feature on | 05:57 |
| vipaca | Is there a way to zoom in on desktop | 05:57 |
| tester5 | neil_d, do the users know linux very well? | 05:57 |
| Barqs | Hm... Is there anyway to change the default file browser? I've checked preferred applications to no avail. | 05:57 |
| Dabbu | how to restart my sound | 05:57 |
| Dr_willis | vipaca, compiz has such a feature. If you use compiz. :) | 05:57 |
| neil_d | tester5: no, and they don't have sudo access | 05:57 |
| daedric | cheesemold, to create a array in linux... a software controled array... you must have 2 or more partitions of a SPECIAL type... type fd in fdisk. | 05:57 |
| cheesemold | daedric: i even have my data saved to a THIRD drive just in case.. but resorting to that would be slow over USB | 05:57 |
| H4shsha | why cant i sudo ./anything? | 05:57 |
| vipaca | can you do this with metacity? | 05:57 |
| daedric | cheesemold, you can't just use softraid directly with ext3 or xfs or ntfs... | 05:57 |
| zSoilworker | H4shsha: Be more explicit. | 05:58 |
| Dabbu | why sound stops working when i play something in mozilla | 05:58 |
| tester5 | neil_d, if they don't know what they're doing, maybe you should just hide then screensaver settings out of the menu | 05:58 |
| cheesemold | daedric: oh no.. | 05:58 |
| prince_jammys | H4shsha: perhaps you forgot to make the file executable? | 05:58 |
| H4shsha | user@user-desktop:~$ sudo "./perlscript" | 05:58 |
| H4shsha | sudo: ./perlscript: command not found | 05:58 |
| ckyle | For Anjuta, go to menu - Edit / Preferences - select "GtkViewEditor" on left side... has a "enable line numbers" checkbox | 05:58 |
| daedric | cheesemold, oh no ? :D | 05:58 |
| onthefence9282 | does ubuntu come with teh ability to properly handle M4a media properly? | 05:58 |
| jimmio | sudo perl ./perlscript maybe? | 05:58 |
| zSoilworker | Sometimes it works(?) | 05:58 |
| cheesemold | daedric: both drives that are set up with my manual redundency are of ext3.. | 05:58 |
| Dabbu | fuck u all | 05:58 |
| neil_d | tester5: oh! the obvious, I didn't think of that. | 05:58 |
| Dr_willis | H4shsha, if its not in the current directory - it wont be found witn ./ | 05:59 |
| djhash | Dabbu: thats very mature of you.. :-) | 05:59 |
| blak | THANX GUYS | 05:59 |
| jimmio | !language | Dabbu | 05:59 |
| ubot5 | Dabbu: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 05:59 |
| H4shsha | it is in the current dir... | 05:59 |
| Dabbu | djhash:thanks | 05:59 |
| daedric | cheesemold, then... you must delete the linuxtype partition... create a partition of the format fd in both drives... create the array with mdadm, and copy all the data thru usb from that 3rd drive of your. | 05:59 |
| daedric | yours* | 05:59 |
| zSoilworker | H4shsha: Are you using "? | 05:59 |
| daedric | no other way. | 05:59 |
| djhash | !patience | Dabbu | 05:59 |
| ubot5 | Dabbu: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 05:59 |
| H4shsha | I tried usin g" | 05:59 |
| H4shsha | and ' | 06:00 |
| zSoilworker | what if you don't use anything? | 06:00 |
| cheesemold | daedric: there's no simpler way? even making a raid 1 out of a single drive, putting the data onto it from my other drive, and then expanding it? | 06:00 |
| prince_jammys | Hamled: did you make the file executable? | 06:00 |
| prince_jammys | H4shsha: did you make the file executable? | 06:00 |
| prince_jammys | Hamled: sorry, wrong nick. | 06:01 |
| daedric | cheesemold, to make it technical... you can only add to a array made with mdadm partitions of the type fd | 06:01 |
| ckyle | Dabbu - you are a child | 06:01 |
| H4shsha | using sudo perl perlscript? | 06:01 |
| samo | dabbu what sound is not working | 06:01 |

| entropy89 | alright guys, one last thing (not c++ related). I've got a usb headset and speakers (3.5mm plugged). How can i switch between them? in windows it's as simple as opening the sound manager and disabling one to enable the other... | 06:01 |
| daedric | cheesemold, alas... you COULD do that. | 06:01 |
| tester5 | neil_d, i've never tried this, but if you remove the package "alacarte" after, then they might not be able to right click on the menu and add things back | 06:01 |
| entropy89 | asoundconf -list | 06:01 |
| cheesemold | daedric: I feel like that would be faster, considering the slowness of usb | 06:01 |
| entropy89 | err wrong window | 06:01 |
| daedric | create a RAID1 with 1 drive (if mdadm allows it... think so), and then add the second drive. | 06:01 |
| cheesemold | daedric: and safer | 06:02 |
| daedric | perhaps :D | 06:02 |
| daedric | you have 1 drive that's expendable... correct? | 06:02 |
| daedric | create the array with that drive. :D | 06:02 |
| zSoilworker | H4shsha: terminal> which sudo | 06:02 |
| prince_jammys | heh | 06:02 |
| H4shsha | woops, i thought that was just for permissions | 06:02 |
| Dabbu | samo:no sound is playing except real player | 06:02 |
| H4shsha | seems to work now | 06:02 |
| Dabbu | samo:is there any way i can restart sound service | 06:03 |
| cheesemold | daedric: this is kind of like using stepping stones while crossing a river, when you need to keep moving the stones yourself, isn't it? | 06:03 |
| prince_jammys | H4shsha: it is for permissions :) you didn't have permission to run it. | 06:03 |
| jimmio | Dabbu: You can normally only have one program using the audio device at the same time. close realplayer. | 06:03 |
| ckyle | mv Dabbu /dev/null | 06:03 |
| bazhang | ckyle, that is not helpful | 06:03 |
| ckyle | ok | 06:03 |
| samo | yea but easyer just to restart x (ctrl-alt-backspace) | 06:03 |
| Dabbu | ckyle:what does this command do | 06:04 |
| Khisanth | daedric: it does :) | 06:04 |
| ckyle | just what it says... | 06:04 |
| jimmio | Dabbu, it's nothing helpful, ignore it. | 06:04 |
| Dabbu | jimmio:what i am telling is that whenever i wath or listem something in mozilla...after that every other player and all sound in my system stops playing | 06:05 |
| samo | dabbu under sound in preferences try changing between ALSA and pulse audio | 06:05 |
| tester5 | mv ckyle /dev/disk/caviar/ | 06:06 |

| pajamian | Threethan: depends on what you want to do with it ... and no IE is not available for Linux. | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | Threethan, I perfer other browsers.. but there are some wine tools to install IE under wine | 06:13 |
| jimmio | samo: I realize this... all audio applications work great.... but not flash AND another one. | 06:13 |
| jimmio | samo: Flash isn't playing nicely =( | 06:13 |
| Threethan | Oh, the only reason I ask is because the company I work for is only set up to run through IE. | 06:13 |
| Threethan | I prefer Firefox or Opera, myself. | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | jimmio, running IE in wine and expecting flash to work.. is a VERY long shot. | 06:14 |
| pajamian | Threethan: IE versions up to 6.0 can be installed through wine and work ok for the most part. | 06:14 |
| Threethan | Crap. Guess I have to keep Windows for a little while longer then. | 06:14 |
| Dr_willis | Flash is getting to be the #1 problem these days. | 06:14 |
| debCarlos | Threethan: you can install explorer with ie4linux, it's the easier way :) | 06:14 |
| jimmio | Dr_willis.... I'm running firefox.... oi vej people XD | 06:14 |

| Dr_willis | jimmio, ive noticed that cbs.com flash stopped working for me even under windows - with firefox. | 06:16 |
| samo | <jimmio> try installing a different flash player, thats all i can think of here | 06:16 |
| pajamian | br10ta10: can it boot to that external CD ROM? | 06:16 |
| br10ta10 | doesn't look like it. i put the ubuntu cd in and tell it to boot off of the cd, but nothing lights up and windows (on the hdd) boots | 06:16 |
| jimmio | Flash is buggy. Oh well. Make your own? =P | 06:17 |
| samo | <br10ta10> try dissconnecting the HDD and then booting from CD | 06:17 |

| onthefence9282 | pajamian: i'm assuming both, since i got teh idea to look for 2.5 after looking for help with the plug-in's crashes in 2.4 (everyone said it was fixed in 2.5 | 06:47 |
| jimmio | DOT3CH: Open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 06:48 |
| pajamian | can anyone else help BiNaRyCoDe? It's out of my realm of knowledge. | 06:48 |
| DOT3CH | jimmio: yea i have that | 06:48 |
| Jordan_U | !ccsm | DOT3CH | 06:48 |
| ubottu | DOT3CH: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 06:48 |
| Jordan_U | csa3d: You need to give us the URL | 06:48 |
| jimmio | DOT3CH: you don't have it if it's not in the list... | 06:48 |
| JL1213 | Can anyone tell me the installation path of Firefox in Ubuntu Hardy Heron? | 06:49 |
| * csa3d is a pastebin newb | 06:49 | |
| pajamian | onthefence9282: I don't know. I personally would have rather compiled the new version of pidgin and the plugin from source, then you know it won't have version problems. | 06:49 |
| csa3d | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41462/ | 06:49 |
| onthefence9282 | BiNaRyCoDe: try to look up driver wrappers for your graphics cards, luckily my laptop works out of teh box so i don't know how myself | 06:49 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Onthefence: What is a driver wrapper? | 06:49 |
| JL1213 | btw... I finally got the blasted thing online today. Not sure what worked, but it did. :D | 06:50 |
| danbhfive | JL1213: which firefox | 06:50 |
| DOT3CH | im looking at the CompizConfig settings manager right now | 06:50 |
| DOT3CH | and not seeing any types of screenlet things | 06:50 |
| pajamian | BiNaRyCoDe: what error do you get when booting up, if any? | 06:50 |
| JL1213 | danbhfive: FF3.0.1 | 06:50 |
| Jordan_U | JL1213: http://pastebin.com/f6f9c747c | 06:50 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Well, when it comes to loading the hardware drivers...it takes forever then fails | 06:51 |
| Jordan_U | JL1213: That is, if it hasn't changed ( I am using intrepid ) | 06:51 |
| pajamian | BiNaRyCoDe: fails with what message? any? | 06:51 |
| JL1213 | Thanks. Trying to install Flash and Java and it asked and I didn't know | 06:51 |
| danbhfive | JL1213: I wasn't asking you a question : P I was giving you a command... you left | 06:52 |
| Jordan_U | JL1213: Ahh, there is an easier way to install flash and Java | 06:52 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | fails on inserting battery but does not give a videocard error, however, im sure its the videocard | 06:52 |
| djhash | !intrepid | 06:52 |

| bombshelter13 | Is there a way to get Rhythmbox to download podcast episodes automatically, instad of needing to click on them? | 06:52 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | I just want to give up....2 days of trying to figure this problem..... | 06:52 |
| pajamian | BiNaRyCoDe: how are you sure? | 06:52 |
| pajamian | BiNaRyCoDe: yeah, I understand. | 06:53 |
| morpheus | is there a way to get wireless working in ubuntu on a HP Pavallion dv6000 | 06:53 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Well when I normally load the screen flickers then after a long time reboots | 06:53 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | I cant really concentrate on any one problem or problems that I'm gettting, in other words I cant see any errors except inserting battery error | 06:54 |
| pinguin_ | hello world..... | 06:54 |
| csa3d | Jordon_U: any ideas on that mount thing? | 06:54 |
| ianm_ | anyone know how to use a wacom tablet without rebooting? | 06:54 |
| pajamian | BiNaRyCoDe: I would start with the error you're getting, then and remove the drivers for the battery (anyone can help with this?) | 06:55 |
| pajamian | !hi | pinguin_ | 06:55 |
| ubottu | pinguin_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 06:55 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | Anyhow...its funny cuz I can boot live cd of ubuntu just fine but when it comes to running the installation off hardrive it doesnt want to seem to work | 06:55 |
| onthefence9282 | pajamian: so how should i go about getting it compiled from source? | 06:55 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | I wish I could screenshot the screen for ya pajamian | 06:56 |
| morpheus | i read about the card itself is bad | 06:56 |
| pajamian | onthefence9282: first you install the build dependancies with: sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin | 06:56 |
| Jordan_U | BiNaRyCoDe: Have you tried installing more than once? | 06:56 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | no | 06:56 |
| pajamian | onthefence9282: then you download the tarball from pidgin website, unpack it and follow the directions. | 06:57 |
| jimmio | DOT3CH: It's Widget Layer... | 06:57 |
| jimmio | under the Desktop section. | 06:57 |
| onthefence9282 | pajamian: not pidgin, the plug-in | 06:57 |
| BiNaRyCoDe | it has to do with drivers -- livecd only uses generic drivers thats why I am able to use it but the installation trys to use drivers that are not supported by my hardware.... | 06:57 |
| pajamian | onthefence9282: I would do both, but similar instructions for the plugin | 06:57 |
| Jordan_U | BiNaRyCoDe: Maybe it was just a failed install for some reason, it might install fine with the alternate install CD or maybe do an integrity check on the CD you have ( it's an option at boot or you can check the md5sum ) | 06:58 |
| nottaken | mwahaha damn i'm evil! couldn't find a way so i just renamed the totem executable (i use vlc anyway) and replaced it with an executable of my own. works like a charm | 06:59 |
| csa3d | Jordon_U: If I open the ipod root folder in Natilus, then right click and goto properties, click on my permissions tab... it says Group:root, Folder access:None, File access: --- | 07:00 |
| pajamian | nottaken: will work until there's a package update for totem which will replace the executable on you again. | 07:00 |
| nottaken | hmm good point | 07:00 |
| wizzer | in gedit, is there anyway i can make it go through and put a line between each word | 07:00 |
| pajamian | wizzer: you_mean_like_this? | 07:01 |
| wizzer | no, i have a list | 07:01 |
| wizzer | and i want a line in between each word | 07:01 |
| Jordan_U | wizzer: Find and replace, or just use another tool made for that type of job such as sed | 07:02 |

| wizzer | is there even a program that does it | 07:03 |
| wizzer | automatically | 07:03 |
| pajamian | wizzer: give an example of what you want. | 07:03 |
| wizzer | i have a list | 07:04 |
| wizzer | and when i load it | 07:04 |
| wizzer | it just sees it as all one part | 07:04 |
| bazhang | wizzer, dont use the enter key as punctuation | 07:04 |
| wizzer | when i put spaces in between, it sees them as seperate | 07:04 |
| nottaken | pajamian: totem package now excluded from ubuntu updates | 07:04 |
| pajamian | nottaken: hehehe, that will work, I prefer to not muck around doing things that way, but logn as it works for you | 07:05 |

| prince_jammys | wizzer: you mean you already had a file that looked how you want it, but gedit doesn't it show it that way? | 07:06 |
| geodome | anyone knows how to tweak the sound server? alsa/jack/arts ? | 07:07 |
| wizzer | well when i load it in the program, it doesn't show it | 07:07 |
| prince_jammys | wizzer: is this a list you made with a Windows text editor? | 07:07 |
| wizzer | yeah probably | 07:07 |
| bazhang | Omoikane, do you have ports forwarded? | 07:08 |
| prince_jammys | wizzer: you probably have carriage returns characters in there. they have to be removed | 07:08 |
| wizzer | oh | 07:08 |
| murlidhar | gtk themes don't work in root . how to solve this ? | 07:08 |
| prince_jammys | wizzer: try the following in a terminal(this will not alter your file): tr -d '\r' < path/to/your/file | 07:09 |
| wizzer | ok | 07:09 |
| dorange | i wanna make my ubuntu desktop portable by installing linux on yo a usb thumbdrive | 07:09 |
| Omoikane | bazhang nah. I was on another network so the ports are different. | 07:09 |
| csa3d | ok, silly question | 07:09 |
| dorange | but i have a problom | 07:09 |
| csa3d | so i have many usb ports on my machine | 07:09 |
| bazhang | Omoikane, then that would likely be the issue | 07:09 |
| dorange | lots of them | 07:10 |
| Omoikane | bazhang it won't even start. | 07:10 |
| Omoikane | bazhang the error I gave you was a terminal output. | 07:10 |
| csa3d | if I plug in my ipod to 2 or more, and ubuntu automounts it... can it be making mulitple /media/ipod dirs? | 07:10 |
| bazhang | Omoikane, deluge or dht | 07:10 |
| ianm_ | has anyone been able to hotplug a wacom tablet? | 07:10 |
| Omoikane | bazhang deluge | 07:10 |
| Omoikane | ianm hot plug? | 07:10 |
| bazhang | Omoikane, what about when you launch from terminal | 07:10 |
| dorange | how do i install ubuntu on a usb thumb drive with persistent loop so in i'll be able to also save languege settings and driver packs? | 07:11 |
| Omoikane | ianm U have gotten them to work. | 07:11 |

| Omoikane | 07:11 | |
| disting | hello | 07:11 |
| disting | im having a problem | 07:11 |
| csa3d | guess a better question is, How can I ensure my USB drive always auto-mounts to the same /media/<whatever> device? | 07:11 |
| bazhang | Omoikane, then delete the torrent and try again | 07:11 |
| ianm_ | Dr_willis: yup! | 07:11 |
| jlong | disting what's up? | 07:11 |
| Omoikane | ianm what do you need help with? | 07:11 |

| bazhang | disting, yes | 07:13 |
| Dr_willis | disting, yes. :) | 07:13 |

| a_run | danbhfive: http://pastebin.com/d338a319a | 07:14 |
| Dr_willis | ianm_, all you need to do is restart the X server.. not reboot.. I think | 07:14 |
| bense | in unix, when you add a & to the end of a command in a script, it does not wait for that process to end, it moves onto the next line, how do i do this in windows? | 07:14 |

| disting | bazhang im trying to use dial up interned in linux is it possible to use dial up in linux | 07:14 |
| ianm_ | Dr_willis: yeah, so they say, although so far that hasn't worked for me. what's a sure-fire way to restart x? (login/out doesn't do it) | 07:14 |
| ianm_ | Omoikane: by restarting X or no? | 07:14 |
| Dr_willis | ianm_, alt-ctrl-backspace.. or set gdm to 'alwyas restart x server' in the gdm configs | 07:14 |
| csa3d | cat lol | 07:14 |
| ianm_ | Dr_willis: is that option gone from the GDM setup gui? | 07:15 |
| bazhang | disting, yes it is | 07:15 |
| disting | bazhang but my modem does not support it | 07:15 |
| disting | :S | 07:15 |
| bazhang | a_run, try apt-get autoremove as the error prescribed | 07:15 |
| disting | bazhang i use a chinise modem | 07:15 |
| Dr_willis | ianm_, i dont recall it ever being in the GUI setup | 07:15 |
| ihcus | hello guys can anyone help me ...... i have to access my windows partition in linux and i have improperly shutdown in windows !!!!! | 07:15 |
| csa3d | what controls usb automount points? | 07:15 |
| ihcus | can any1 help pls | 07:15 |
| ihcus | can anyone help me in forcing to mount a drive | 07:16 |
| Dr_willis | ihcus, if you have entries in the fstab file. you can mount them from the command line. | 07:16 |
| Xperiment62 | ihcus, mount -t ntfs /dev/hd* mountpoint -0 force | 07:16 |
| prince_jammys | ihcus: did you try to log into windows and shut it down properly? | 07:16 |
| bazhang | disting, if your modem does not work then you either need to get one that does, or find a way to make that one work; have you checked the model and make with linux in a search engine? ubuntuforums.org may have something as well. | 07:16 |
| Dr_willis | or use the full mount command line/options like Xperiment62 said. :) | 07:16 |
| a_run | bazhang: http://pastebin.com/d6358e57 | 07:16 |
| prince_jammys | or shut it down properly | 07:16 |
| danbhfive | a_run: maybe you could try reinstalling kio-umount | 07:17 |
| Jordan_U | Xperiment62: ihcus Please don't suggest forcing a mount on an unclean FS unless necisary | 07:17 |
| a_run | danbhfive: i tried that | 07:17 |
| ihcus | i cant try to logi in to windows i busted windows | 07:17 |
| Xperiment62 | sorry bout that | 07:17 |
| a_run | but it errors on removing it again | 07:17 |
| Dr_willis | well forceing ntfs - in read only.. should be 'decently safe' shouldent it? | 07:17 |
| disting | bazhang do u know any soft. that will help to run all window programs in linux? | 07:17 |
| Jordan_U | ihcus: You can try mounting it read only, or try "ntfsfix", but try mounting read only first | 07:17 |
| ihcus | Xperiment62: where do i do that> and how do i do that ? | 07:17 |
| Omoikane | ianm_ yeah restarting x. | 07:17 |
| ianm_ | Dr_willis: hm, ok. well I found the option in the config, going to killall -HUP gdm | 07:17 |
| bazhang | disting, not all but wine does pretty well; additionally there are linux equivalents to most windows apps. | 07:18 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, forcing ntfs volumes hasn't caused errors for me. May i ask why this might be a problem if i know why the file system is giving this error? (like unsafe removal of external HD) | 07:18 |
| Dr_willis | ianm_, alt-ctrl-backspace will force X to restart also. :) do it from the gdm login.. or check the gdm menus.. it may have a ;restart x server' option | 07:18 |

| Varange | hi all. I have successfully installed Ubuntu on my PC. Now I'd like to see the eye candy, specifically the Beryl type stuff. Please help me get it going | 07:19 |
| a_run | danbhfive: ? | 07:19 |
| prince_jammys | wizzer: you probably made a typo and it's waiting for input :) | 07:19 |
| danbhfive | a_run: whats the output of that command? | 07:19 |
| bazhang | disting, no that will not do it in terms of ram; you could try fluxbuntu if you wish | 07:19 |
| hischild | Varange, installing the drivers for your graphics card will let you use all the graphical eye candy. Check under system -> administration -> hardware drivers. | 07:19 |
| wizzer | tr -d /home/user/Desktop/cats.lst | 07:19 |
| a_run | danbhfive: nothing | 07:19 |
| prince_jammys | wizzer: nope | 07:19 |
| Jordan_U | hischild: Writing to a file system that is in an inconsistent state is just a bad idea, especially if it isn't necessary | 07:19 |
| a_run | gives back the prompt | 07:20 |
| wizzer | do i need the <? | 07:20 |
| prince_jammys | wizzer: that's not what i typed | 07:20 |
| disting | :( | 07:20 |
| Varange | hischild, thx, brb | 07:20 |
| wizzer | hmm | 07:20 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, there's a difference between an unchecked and inconsistent state. NTFS is usually saying it's in an unchecked state instead of inconsistent. | 07:20 |
| prince_jammys | wizzer: press control c to stop it. | 07:20 |
| danbhfive | a_run: dpkg --force-remove kio-umountwrapper | 07:20 |
| wizzer | when i put that < in there, it says the file doesn't exist | 07:20 |
| Varange | hischild, it says "no proprietary drivers on this system" | 07:20 |
| wizzer | yeah i did that | 07:20 |
| disting | bazhang whats is minimum memory needed to run ubuntu 8 | 07:20 |
| hischild | Varange, what graphics card do you have? | 07:20 |
| Varange | hischild, no idea | 07:21 |
| hischild | disting, i've done it on a 64mb ram with 8mb vid card | 07:21 |
| prince_jammys | wizzer: tr -d '\r' < /home/user/Desktop/cats.lst | 07:21 |
| Varange | hischild, it does the OpenGL stuff though | 07:21 |
| prince_jammys | wizzer: and let me know if it looks different. | 07:21 |
| bazhang | disting, how slow are you willing to accept? | 07:21 |
| Xperiment62 | anyone know an easy way to get an ATI graphics card running in Dual head mode | 07:21 |
| a_run | danbhfive: dpkg: unknown force/refuse option `remove' | 07:21 |
| disting | hischild ubunti 8!!!!!!!! | 07:21 |
| Jordan_U | hischild: If that's true then ntfsfix will be able to fix it, if he was writing to a file when he lost power then that might not be true, and either way he might have just needed read access, so why risk it? | 07:21 |
| hischild | Varange, run this command to find your graphics card --> lspci | grep VGA | 07:21 |
| disting | bazhang lol bro i want to make is faster and faster | 07:21 |
| disting | :) | 07:21 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, good point. | 07:21 |
| bazhang | disting, then get more ram | 07:21 |
| hischild | disting, yes, ubuntu 8.04 | 07:21 |
| disting | hischild how come | 07:22 |
| wizzer | bash: tr -d '\r' < /home/user/Desktop/cats.lst: No such file or directory | 07:22 |

| bazhang | disting, do you have ubuntu installed now? | 07:23 |
| disting | hischild can i get ur slides for viewing them :P | 07:23 |
| Dr_willis | ianm_, perhaps. I never really messed with it much. | 07:23 |
| hischild | Varange, im afraid i don't have experience with intel cards. Perhaps that someone else in the channel will be able to help you. | 07:23 |
| wizzer | no quotes | 07:23 |
| Varange | ok thx hischild | 07:23 |
| hischild | disting, yes you can :-) will still be another week or 2 before i'm finished. | 07:23 |
| danbhfive | a_run: maybe try just --remove instead of --force-remove | 07:23 |
| csa3d | or keep a drive mounted, but don't show it on the desktop somehwo | 07:23 |
| disting | bazhang no im using xp now.. i tried fedora but..... i earned a bad experience | 07:23 |
| disting | :( | 07:23 |
| Jordan_U | zeeeee: You don't need to be root to mount an sshfs | 07:24 |
| disting | hischild ohh thanx | 07:24 |
| bazhang | disting, then please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic as this is the support channel thanks | 07:24 |

| Xperiment62 | is there an easier way to setup a single grapics card for dual heads without writing up a custom xorg.conf (primary @ PCI:0:5:0 , secondary @ PCI:0:5:1) | 07:26 |
| geodome | anyone here familiar with troubleshooting sound? | 07:26 |
| prince_jammys | wizzer: ok. that means you need to get rid of the carriage returns. | 07:26 |
| wizzer | ok, thanks | 07:26 |
| Gnea | !sound | geodome | 07:27 |
| ubottu | geodome: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 07:27 |

| prince_jammys | wizzer: this::: tr -d '\r' < /home/user/Desktop/cats.lst > mycopy | 07:27 |
| nottaken | csa3d: you will have to create a folder by the name you want first | 07:27 |
| prince_jammys | wizzer: same command, with what i added on the end. will make a copy called 'mycopy' | 07:27 |
| wizzer | oh | 07:27 |
| wizzer | ok | 07:27 |
| prince_jammys | wizzer: that copy will not have the carriage returns | 07:27 |
| benzs_s | so i tried to play a video with mplayer: big mistake, it won't stop flashing an error about alsa at me and i can't close it | 07:27 |
| jimmio | if anyone was wondering.... putting title=gdesklets-daemon in the window rules Above box... puts them on top =D | 07:28 |
| csa3d | nottaken: on my desktop it shows up as "21.5 GB Media". Can I simply NOT display it on my desktop | 07:28 |
| Gnea | benzs_s: switch to ctrl-alt-f1, login and: killall -9 mplayer | 07:28 |

| Dr_willis | benzs_s, weird. i use mplayer all the time | 07:28 |
| Gnea | benzs_s: then just alt-f7 to get back | 07:28 |
| Jordan_U | zeeeee: man mount, I think you want -o group | 07:28 |
| csa3d | nottaken: Ulternatively, If I could rename the shortcut to something more meaningful, that would be good too | 07:28 |
| Dr_willis | benzs_s, try 'xkill' to kill the whole player? | 07:28 |
| wizzer | thank you prince_jammys, worked exactly how i wanted and now i know how to do it for future reference | 07:29 |

| nottaken | csa3d: ahh, i'm newish to ubuntu. didn't realise it gave it a descriptive name | 07:30 |
| nottaken | csa3d: no, i can't think of any non-dodgy hacked ways of doing it | 07:30 |
| csa3d | nottaken: no worries, I'm here with ya. Only three weeks strong on this. Trying to get rid of my "windows" ways and figure out the new way | 07:31 |
| thinkgnu | how can i add this repository to my repositories ? http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/amilcarlucas/xUbuntu_8.04/ | 07:31 |
| Jordan_U | Xperiment62: If you have an nvidia card you can try their graphical configuration tool | 07:31 |
| hischild | Xperiment62, do you happen to have an nvidia card? | 07:31 |
| Xperiment62 | Jordan_U: only have this ATI and theres no way im just gonna ditch a 256mb card | 07:32 |
| Xperiment62 | hischild: see above | 07:32 |
| hischild | Xperiment62, just saw it | 07:32 |
| Dr_willis | thinkgnu, since theres just 4 or 6 packages there.. you could just download the .debs and install them | 07:32 |
| Jordan_U | Xperiment62: ATI has a graphical configurator as well.... but I would be surprised if it worked | 07:32 |
| thinkgnu | Dr_willis: but i want to add it ! | 07:33 |
| Xperiment62 | Jordan_U: that uses the fglrx driver which is closed source | 07:33 |
| Dr_willis | thinkgnu, look at the sources.list file, copy a line, edit it and add the new url i guess.. | 07:33 |
| Jordan_U | Xperiment62: I am guessing that System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution doesn't work? | 07:34 |
| jimmio | Yay, now that I've got gDesklets running the way I want.... now I just needa make a USEFUL one =P | 07:34 |

| csa3d | when running "man", is there a shortcut for "find" or "grep" | 07:36 |

| bazhang | true | 07:36 |
| cheesemold | Gnea: are you familiar with mdadm? the software raid tool? | 07:36 |
| Jordan_U | Xperiment62: There is one more graphical program which is almost guaranteed not to work, if I can remember how to access it it's installed by default, but hidden because it never really worked well | 07:37 |
| Gnea | cheesemold: not really... but there is some documentation that might help a bit... and i'm sure there are some RAID gurus around here somewhere | 07:37 |

| Xperiment62 | johnt: dual booting which OS's? | 07:44 |

| amanulla | hcl B2302 laptop | 07:45 |
| benzss | shadow420: yes, it's very choppy. xine gives slightly better results but if there are a lot of things going on in the video it'll just stop altogether. from what i can gather, it's a common problem | 07:45 |
| benzss | what's strange is that if i were to boot into windows, there'd be no choppiness at all... which leads me to believe it's not a hardware problem | 07:45 |
| hischild | benzss, turn off compiz and use vlc, those 2 have done miracles for me | 07:45 |
| Gnea | this webcam just doesn't want to work right... farking micro innovations cheapie... | 07:46 |

| shadow420 | benzss well I don't even have it install far as I know | 07:46 |
| benzss | Gnea, yeah it's my default player | 07:46 |
| johnt | WEll I installed Ubuntu then used gparted live cd to split the partitions and went on to install XP, but now ubuntu doesn't show up in the multiboot menu | 07:46 |
| Gnea | benzss: so what do you need mplayer for? :) | 07:47 |
| shadow420 | johnt it's easy to install xp first then ubuntu | 07:47 |
| benzss | Gnea: it was worth trying to see if it'd play high def video without being choppy | 07:47 |
| Gnea | johnt: did you install ubuntu first, and XP second? | 07:47 |
| Gnea | benzss: i recommend -framedrop :) | 07:47 |
| aj_ | can anyone tell me how to disable compiz?? | 07:48 |
| Gnea | mplayer -framedrop file.m4v | 07:48 |
| johnt | shadow420 i know but i didnt think about that | 07:48 |
| FAJALOU | aj: metacity --replace | 07:48 |
| johnt | Gnea yea | 07:48 |
| shadow420 | johnt the NTDLR Windows bootloader is a pain | 07:48 |
| benzss | Gnea: i was trying something like that... well, dropping the resolution to dvd size. unfortunately mplayer threw a wobbly | 07:48 |
| FAJALOU | aj I would suggest installing fusion-icon, it is really easy to use and makes it easy to switch back and forth | 07:48 |
| Gnea | aj_: system->preferences->appearance->visual effects->normal/none | 07:48 |
| aj_ | metacity -replace?? i didnt get it... and how to enable it again | 07:48 |
| FAJALOU | aj_: use fusion-icon | 07:49 |
| benzss | aj_: press alt+f2, and type 'metacity --replace' | 07:49 |
| hischild | aj_, hit alt+f2 then run that command. It'll disable it. compiz --replace to enable again | 07:49 |
| shadow420 | johnt but I have a solution install xp then ubuntu then get a windows program called Wingrub | 07:49 |
| FAJALOU | !info fusion-icon | aj_ | 07:49 |

| hischild | csa3d, you might want to add it's UUID in there. | 08:06 |
| csa3d | yeah, but i'd like to label it so the mount point is consistant | 08:06 |

| compu73rg33k | bleh i always forget partition schemes - I have 2 partitions already on my disk - I want to make an addition of 4 (/, /usr/, /home, /swap) - I'm using cfdisk - do I make my fourth ( which will be /usr) logical? how do I get around this 4 primary-partition limit again? | 08:07 |
| csa3d | hischild: what prints out the UUID? (no, it's not currently added there) | 08:07 |
| hischild | csa3d, sudo blkid | 08:07 |
| FAJALOU | johnt: ya, it's really easy to use too. don't get discouraged if it doesn't work first time; you prolly just went through the help thing and didn't actually recover anything :) . Yes it restores grub, or MBR, whichever you like, i would go with grub | 08:07 |

| lakikikialiao | but I have tried it | 08:42 |
| bazhang | lakikikialiao, more info at appdb and #winehq | 08:42 |
| Malwir | lakikikialiao, he is wrong, you should use virtualbox | 08:42 |
| lakikikialiao | Virtual box ??? | 08:43 |
| Janus` | so.. is there some niffy config program to edit the xorg.conf to change the resolution of xorg... | 08:43 |
| Malwir | lakikikialiao, yeah, it has 100percent compatibility with windows.... it makes a box that you can install windows into | 08:43 |
| Jordan_U | lakikikialiao: Have you tried the package "spider" from synaptic? | 08:43 |
| Janus` | or should i go in and set up the entire xorg.conf manually so i can use my entire screen :/ | 08:43 |
| csa3d | hischild: thanks for a ton of help! So now it mounts, has the proper name, etc. When I right click and eject it, it tells me I do not have permissions to do so. what option am I missing in fstab or is it a chmod or chown thing on the media directory? | 08:43 |
| lakikikialiao | Jordan_U, No, I don't have | 08:44 |

| loquitus_of_borg | Hey people. How do I install a game that actually consists of two .deb files? I am assuming they depend on each other... so is there a way to install them both? | 08:44 |
| Malwir | lakikikialiao, see, here is a picture of virtualbox: http://www.souslestoits.net/blog/public/billets/virtualbox.jpg | 08:44 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, which game | 08:44 |
| hischild | csa3d, instead of defaults or what is you've written, do user. So you get something like UUID="bladiebla" /media/something ext3 user 0 0 | 08:44 |
| hischild | loquitus_of_borg, one will depend on the other, the other not on the one. Try and see | 08:44 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: I am grabbing alot of them off the getubuntu website... most have two files. | 08:45 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, aha; need a name of game to actually help there. | 08:45 |
| Jordan_U | lakikikialiao: You can install it via System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager or with this command: "sudo apt-get install spider" It's not the windows version but I assume it's the same rules | 08:46 |
| snakezx | anyone got wifi working in ubuntu | 08:46 |
| br10ta10 | I just installed Ubuntu on my toshiba portege (thanks guys for the help). One question, I only get 800x600 and less for screen resolution options. Where do I go to get the full potential of the display? Install a new driver? | 08:46 |
| bazhang | snakezx, which chipset | 08:46 |
| Malwir | lakikikialiao, no, install the package "pysol", it has the right game in it | 08:47 |
| hischild | csa3d, it's time for a break over here. See you in 20 min | 08:47 |
| Jordan_U | snakezx: I would guess that most here do, just ask your question | 08:47 |
| AlfadorJanus | so..yah, how do i go about changing the resolution in ubuntu. I've only done it in gentoo where you edit the xorg.conf file... but won't to know if there is an easy perfered ubuntu way of doing things | 08:47 |
| Malwir | AlfadorJanus, look in the menus, like Preferences>>Screen Resolution | 08:48 |
| bazhang | lakikikialiao, why not install them both | 08:48 |
| Jordan_U | AlfadorJanus: If you don't have full res in Ubuntu you most likely just need to install the right driver | 08:48 |
| AlfadorJanus | Jordan_U, where do i go to do that | 08:49 |
| br10ta10 | Jordan_U: where does one find drivers? | 08:49 |
| AlfadorJanus | ubuntu is all.. watered down and i get lost and make it more complicated than it is :( | 08:49 |
| rj | hello.. anybody used ircd here ? | 08:49 |
| Jordan_U | AlfadorJanus: What GFX card do you have? | 08:49 |
| AlfadorJanus | i believe its the intel 815 drivers | 08:49 |
| lakikikialiao | Yes bazhang I will try it | 08:50 |
| Malwir | lakikikialiao, if you install both like bazhang says then it will use up twice the memory | 08:50 |
| AlfadorJanus | its a intel laptop chipset | 08:50 |
| bazhang | Malwir, no it wont | 08:50 |
| rj | pls let me know if anybody here know hoe to connect to ircd server chat | 08:50 |
| Malwir | bazhang, yes it will if he plays both at the same time | 08:50 |
| Jordan_U | AlfadorJanus: Then you already have the drivers and it does probably need an xorg.conf modification if System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution doesn't do it | 08:50 |
| lakikikialiao | yes Malwir, Virtual Box is same with VMware, right ? | 08:51 |
| bazhang | lakikikialiao, sudo apt-get install spider pysol | 08:51 |
| lakikikialiao | Allright | 08:51 |
| AlfadorJanus | Jordan_U, i'm not sure if they are actually being loaded.. i just know thats the ones it uses | 08:51 |
| Malwir | lakikikialiao, yes, but virtualbox is somewhat easier to get working, since it is all open source, you just install the ubuntu package | 08:51 |
| DIFH-iceroot | is it possible to upgrade from ubuntu 6.06 lts to 8.04 lts without! a kernel-update? | 08:51 |
| AlfadorJanus | from when i used gentoo on the system back when | 08:51 |
| jetscreamer | kpat & kmajhong | 08:51 |
| AlfadorJanus | and did all the configs manually cause... there isn't any other way | 08:51 |
| rj | users | 08:51 |
| bazhang | lakikikialiao, you could use vbox or other but seems a lot of effort for just that game :) | 08:51 |
| rj | #users | 08:52 |
| bazhang | DIFH-iceroot, why would you want that | 08:52 |
| AlfadorJanus | and there is no system->preferences | 08:52 |
| pajamian | DIFH-iceroot: I don't think so, why would you want to keep the old kernel? | 08:52 |
| Malwir | bazhang, virtualbox uses a bit of memory, but you were saying to install TWO games, which also takes up a lot of space too | 08:52 |
| lakikikialiao | Yes, I think so, Malwir | 08:52 |
| DIFH-iceroot | bazhang: because its a vm, and the kernel is giving from the vm-host | 08:52 |
| DIFH-iceroot | so i cant update the kernel | 08:52 |
| lakikikialiao | Thanks for your help, bazhang | 08:53 |
| bazhang | lakikikialiao, np ") | 08:53 |
| lakikikialiao | Thankz friend for your help | 08:53 |
| Jordan_U | AlfadorJanus: There isn't really any other ( good ) way in Ubuntu, just check that your xorg.conf is using the "intel" driver ( i810 is old, it's not a difference between gentoo and Ubuntu but just a change of time ) and the correct resolution is manually added if it's not detected automagically | 08:53 |
| bazhang | DIFH-iceroot, which is the guest and which is the host? | 08:53 |
| lakikikialiao | I just move from Windows to Ubuntu | 08:53 |
| bazhang | !yay | lakikikialiao | 08:53 |
| ubottu | lakikikialiao: Glad you made it! :-) | 08:53 |
| Malwir | !ot bazhang | 08:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ot bazhang | 08:54 |
| Malwir | hah | 08:54 |
| bazhang | Malwir, you need the | | 08:54 |
| Malwir | I know | 08:54 |
| DIFH-iceroot | bazhang: xen, using ubuntu server edition as host and ubuntu server edition as guest, and the kernel is ginving from xen, so i cant update the kernel | 08:54 |
| AlfadorJanus | Jordan_U, found where its hiding | 08:54 |
| bazhang | Malwir, or > | 08:54 |
| lakikikialiao | Thankz, And I think Ubuntu is the great OS !!! | 08:54 |
| AlfadorJanus | the only problem now is.. the slider doesn't go past 1024x768 | 08:54 |

| rj | NODE ID: 1 BIND PORT: 20102 | 08:59 |
| pajamian | rj: a bot? | 08:59 |
| rj | not a bot, but a infinite accepting looping sever | 09:00 |
| rj | *server | 09:00 |
| pajamian | rj you're trying to run an ircd server? | 09:00 |
| csa3d | what needs to happen to make right clicking an external drive on my desktop, eject w/o giving me permissions errors? | 09:00 |
| rj | right | 09:00 |
| gaurav__ | is dere any way that one can put shortcut of any folder on desktop for permanent like in windos | 09:00 |
| bazhang | csa3d, what about choosing safely remove | 09:01 |
| pajamian | rj: you should probably learn more about IRC before attempting to run a server. I would say understanding how to use the join command at the very least. | 09:01 |
| csa3d | there's no options for saftely remoe | 09:01 |
| rj | have done much study on it, but can't make it connect it from other existing clients like this one. | 09:02 |
| koshari | how do i list files inclufding those in subdirs? ld -r only lists recersive directorys? | 09:03 |
| Rakeer | How do I boot a live cd from a bootloader pompt? | 09:03 |
| Rakeer | koshari: try R vs r? | 09:03 |
| Rakeer | capital R? | 09:03 |
| rj | hello favro | 09:03 |
| favro | hi | 09:04 |
| koshari | thanks, capital R doest it, | 09:04 |
| nomopofomo | had a question about building binutils, is anyone familiar with it? | 09:04 |
| gaurav__ | is dere any way toh creat shorcuts | 09:04 |
| Rakeer | hey favro, do you know how to start an xubuntu live installer once already in a bootloader? | 09:04 |
| pajamian | koshari: and it's ls, not ld | 09:04 |
| koshari | pajamian thnx that was a typo | 09:05 |
| rj | hey favro.. i saw u came into #1 for a minute.. but could u sent any msgs there ? | 09:05 |
| Malwir | gaurav_, no ubuntu doesn't have any shortcuts. The closest thing is probably links | 09:05 |
| favro | Rakeer: I don't use bootloaders | 09:05 |
| koshari | pajamian havnt used ld since the vic20 days ;-) | 09:05 |
| pajamian | koshari: ;-) | 09:05 |
| gaurav__ | okh thank you | 09:05 |
| favro | rj: didn't try - i'll have a go | 09:05 |
| rj | no, u came in .. isaw ur name there in #1 | 09:06 |
| Rakeer | er.. | 09:06 |
| Rakeer | how do you not use a boot loader? | 09:06 |
| Rakeer | you dont use grub or anything? | 09:06 |
| favro | rj: nope | 09:06 |
| stdin | Rakeer: you can't you need to boot from the CD directly | 09:06 |
| rj | now i see u joined.. but u r not able to send msgs , is it ?> | 09:06 |
| Rakeer | stdin: would it be too hard to change to bootloader thats on the CD with a different one? | 09:07 |
| koshari | thats what i wanted ls -R > songs.txt | 09:07 |
| hischild | csa3d, How's themounting going? | 09:07 |
| Rakeer | I mean, it laucnhes the bootloader, at some point it inits a string to launch the livecd, right?? | 09:07 |
| favro | rj: "cannot send to channel" is what happened | 09:07 |
| pajamian | koshari: you might want to put a -1 in there too | 09:07 |
| csa3d | hischild: I do not have priveleges to unmount my usbdrive, and the old mount directory listing is still present though unconnected | 09:08 |
| rj | okay, thanks man.. atleast JOINING works.. | 09:08 |
| koshari | gaurav launchers? | 09:08 |
| favro | hehe | 09:08 |
| koshari | pajamian what will the -1 do? | 09:08 |
| hischild | csa3d, hmm... with user added to the options? | 09:08 |
| stdin | Rakeer: the bootloader on the CD loads the kernel and filesystem image, similar to grub. but CDs use a specific boot loader | 09:08 |
| pajamian | koshari: one file per line | 09:08 |
| csa3d | # Entry for IPOD: | 09:09 |
| csa3d | UUID=FA26-8080 /media/ipod vfat user,auto,umask=000 0 0 | 09:09 |
| koshari | pajamian ok thanks, allthough it outputted one file per line anyway. | 09:09 |
| hischild | csa3d, why the umask? | 09:09 |
| Malwir | stdin, "a specific bootloader"? you just said it doesn't use a bootloader | 09:09 |
| acuster | so how do we get xhost to work on ubuntu? | 09:09 |
| rj | @favro: once again pls join #1.. | 09:09 |
| stdin | Malwir: no, I didn't, at all | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all | 09:09 |
| acuster | security is great and all but X was developed to kick ass; we shouldn't cripple X in this way | 09:09 |
| csa3d | hischild: cuz i copied and pasted it from some ipod thread :/ | 09:09 |
| pajamian | koshari: oh it does too, ls hasn't always for me | 09:10 |
| favro | rj: same again | 09:10 |
| === Abra_Away is now known as Abracadabra | ||
| Malwir | "<stdin> Rakeer: you can't you need to boot from the CD directly" | 09:10 |
| acuster | I've gone and edited files around the system and still X gets launched with --no-listen | 09:10 |
| acuster | /rant | 09:10 |
| stdin | Malwir: and, in what part of that sentence does it say: "CDs don't have a bootloader" | 09:10 |
| hischild | csa3d, hmm well try it with the least amount of options that should work ... and did you check the UUID? | 09:11 |
| Malwir | stdin in the part that says "you can't" | 09:11 |
| the_gamer | in which package is xls2csv? | 09:11 |
| Malwir | first part of the sentence | 09:11 |
| bazhang | Malwir, please take chat elsewhere | 09:11 |
| stdin | Malwir: you can't boot it from grub, read the question | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | the_gamer: i believe thats a packae | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !info xls2csv | 09:11 |
| ubottu | Package xls2csv does not exist in hardy | 09:11 |
| the_gamer | ActionParsnip: but i can't find it? | 09:11 |
| Malwir | sorry bazhang for talking with stdin, clearly I am in the wrong | 09:11 |
| bazhang | Malwir, we have a nice chat room: #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | the_gamer: its catdoc | 09:12 |
| Malwir | bazhang, good idea. stdin started it, but if it happens again, I will definately go to that channel instead of this one | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | the_gamer: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/text/catdoc | 09:13 |
| the_gamer | ActionParsnip: ty | 09:13 |
| csa3d | hischild: removing the umask changed nothing, the UUID of the properly renamed ipod connection is correct, the old directory is filled with bogus directories, unconnected, and just needs deleted I'm assuming | 09:14 |
| nat1 | is thre a way to un rar stuff in linux | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | nat1: unrar x ./rarfile.rar | 09:14 |
| pajamian | !info unrar | nat1 | 09:14 |
| ubottu | nat1: unrar (source: unrar-nonfree): Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.7.8-1 (hardy), package size 94 kB, installed size 240 kB | 09:14 |
| Malwir | nat1, in case you didn't see the 3 people above say it, use the command "unrar" | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | nat1: or if you install unrar then ark can handle them | 09:15 |
| csa3d | silly question: I have two user accounts on my machine, one being root, the other being "owner". Is there any reason I need to be adding "owner" to the root policy in the system tools? | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | csa3d: you dont neer the root account, add your owner account to the sudo group and you can admin using that | 09:17 |
| lakikikialiao | Malwir, why I can't write my MP3 player with ubuntu ??? | 09:18 |
| hischild | csa3d, hmm ... can you pm me the info of what mount gives you? | 09:18 |
| lakikikialiao | Malwir, I can write my MP3 player very well with windows | 09:18 |
| Malwir | lakikikialiao, what mp3 player is it? | 09:19 |
| csa3d | ActionParsnip: are their security ramifications of enabling sudo on the onwer account? What's different between that and using sudo | 09:19 |
| lakikikialiao | It is MP3 player from Alltronix | 09:19 |
| bazhang | lakikikialiao, which mp3 player | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | csa3d: none at all, when you sudo you will need your password to authorise the action. running apps as root is a security risk | 09:20 |
| bazhang | ie exact name and model lakikikialiao | 09:20 |
| nat1 | thanks guys | 09:20 |
| lakikikialiao | sorry ???? | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | csa3d: sudo allows you to have root access for the life of the command | 09:20 |
| csa3d | ActionParsnip: but if I give "owner" access to "sudo" privleges, you do away with having to type sudo all the time? | 09:21 |
| lakikikialiao | Malwir, Sorry I don't know | 09:21 |
| bazhang | csa3d, best not to override sudo | 09:21 |
| hischild | csa3d, hmm not sure, it doesn't show in mount so it shouldn't be there anymore. Reboot if needed to make sure it's gone. | 09:22 |
| Malwir | lakikikialiao, unless your mp3 player is really popular or else it uses a standard USB mass stroage driver, then there is probably no chance you will get the mp3 player to work on ubuntu ever in your life | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | csa3d: no, you type sudo every time you need root priveledges | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | csa3d: you therefore have no need for root | 09:22 |
| domas | Malwir: he can learn to write drivers! | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | csa3d: as I say....root is moot :D | 09:23 |
| bazhang | lakikikialiao, try plugging it in then type lsusb in the terminal | 09:23 |
| lakikikialiao | Malwir, I try write with sudo privledges but it still not work | 09:23 |
| bazhang | domas, that is hardly likely as he is new. | 09:23 |
| geev | how do i clean unwanted files on ubuntu as in windows | 09:23 |
| Malwir | lakikikialiao, can you see what is on it in ubuntu?? | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | geev: you mean lisk disk cleanup? | 09:24 |
| domas | bazhang: "in your life" :) | 09:24 |
| csa3d | ActionParsnip: well, it is saying that deleting an administrative account would leave the system unstable.. which is why i left windows in the first place | 09:24 |
| domas | bazhang: thats a long term | 09:24 |
| lakikikialiao | Malwir, It says "read-only filesystem" | 09:24 |
| csa3d | ;) | 09:24 |
| fmike | hello | 09:24 |
| bazhang | domas, right, but he want music now :) | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | csa3d: oh no, root will always be there, you just dont need to actually use the account | 09:24 |
| firmabos20034 | All greetings. There is here a lucid mind what to help me? | 09:25 |
| firmabos20034 | At me a problem at loading with life CD writes here such errors: SQUASHFS error: | 09:25 |
| Malwir | lakikikialiao, but are you saying you can see the files in the mp3 player, in the file manager? | 09:25 |
| csa3d | ActionParsnip: There doesn't seem to be a "sudo" group in the user manage groups section | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | csa3d: might be sudoers | 09:25 |
| bazhang | firmabos20034, md5 the iso and reburn at low speed | 09:25 |

| Malwir | lakikikialiao, to get a sudo file manager, go to a terminal and type "sudo nautilus" | 09:26 |
| bazhang | !gksudo | lakikikialiao | 09:26 |
| ubottu | lakikikialiao: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Malwir: gksu nautilus dude | 09:27 |
| bazhang | lakikikialiao, use gksudo and not sudo with gui apps | 09:27 |
| domas | bazhang: thats a good motivator! :) | 09:27 |

| nomopofomo | domas, i just ran make and it's looping the same screen over and over again... is that normal? how long does it take? | 09:28 |
| bazhang | fmike, did you md5 the iso, burn slowly and then do disk integrity check | 09:28 |
| === embe is now known as Guest35831 | ||
| Malwir | bazhang, take it to off topic please | 09:28 |
| fmike | yea i did all of that | 09:28 |
| fmike | i md5ed and did the integrity check | 09:28 |
| bazhang | fmike, then what is the issue | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Malwir: sudo does not set up environment variables for gui apps like nautilus, gksu does, this can effectively break ownerships and file permissions, sudo is for CLI only, gksu for GUI | 09:28 |
| fmike | heybazhang i'm going to msg you | 09:28 |
| bazhang | fmike, sure | 09:28 |

| ActionParsnip | immy123: you need some 32bit libs, then use dpkg -i --force-architecture ./debfile.deb | 09:36 |
| Malwir | ActionParsnip, no, they can handle the power of gksu, but sudo gives them SO MUCH extra power that they get a little unstable, I admit | 09:36 |
| immy123 | ActionParsnip: thanks a lot :) | 09:36 |
| rampageoberon | geev: try open firefox in a new profile and test please | 09:36 |
| arquebus | I ran this: sudo apt-get install mysql php5 apache2 to install the LAMP apps and an error message says it cant find the mysql package. Whats wrong? | 09:36 |
| stealth-fone | skeel: You should have a boot partition, your swap partition, and then your budget RAID. | 09:36 |
| bazhang | Malwir, that is not correct | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | immy123: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs | 09:37 |
| locke | its at least proof that exclusive ubuntu users can still get with hot 18yo college chicks :) | 09:37 |
| stealth-fone | arquebus: mysql-server? | 09:37 |
| skeel | hey, I used to mdadm to assemble an existing raid0 array (4 disks)... problem is, now that I restarted it, the drives that make up md0 (/dev/hde1, /dev/hdh1 and so on) are now named /dev/hde, /dev/hdh... does this mean that the partitions are gone? fdisk -l /dev/hde says the first partition is hde1 (which is correct), but it doesn't show up as /dev/hde1 | 09:37 |
| locke | i've even got her using ubuntu now | 09:37 |
| immy123 | ActionParsnip:ok i'll try | 09:37 |

| Malwir | bazhang, and have you ever tried "sudo sudo nautilus"? It is even more powerful | 09:38 |
| immy123 | ActionParsnip:i did it. now am i to do follow the normal procedure? | 09:38 |
| cruddpuppet | why is it that "ls -lah" returns only directories, and not files? | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Malwir: how do you get more powerful than root? | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Malwir: http://gavin2u.wordpress.com/2007/09/22/using-gksu-vs-sudo/ | 09:38 |
| cruddpuppet | I know it returns files as well as I've used it many times before | 09:38 |
| stealth-fone | ls -lah works fine for me | 09:39 |
| Malwir | ActionParsnip, obviously, the only thing more powerful than root is root root | 09:39 |
| cruddpuppet | well I'm just assuming this system is ubuntu, I honestly don't know what it is | 09:39 |
| bazhang | Malwir, there is no such command | 09:39 |
| cruddpuppet | uname -a does not work | 09:39 |
| stealth-fone | what's the output of alias? | 09:39 |
| immy123 | ia32-libs is already the newest version. | 09:39 |
| immy123 | ia32-libs set to manually installed. | 09:39 |
| cruddpuppet | alias does not return anything | 09:39 |
| immy123 | ActionParsnip: that's what the terminal said | 09:39 |
| stealth-fone | not even --color=auto? | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | immy123: ok then you should be set. It may go a bit weird, you have been warned | 09:39 |
| Malwir | bazhang, it's hidden because it's so powerful | 09:39 |
| cruddpuppet | stealth-fone: nope | 09:40 |
| Malwir | bazhang, plus, stop making me go off topic | 09:40 |
| stdin | Malwir: try to keep on topic | 09:40 |

| Smegzor | I recently re-enabled nvidia in administration/hardware drivers. Now when I get the login screen the resolution is so low, the login box is mostly off the screen. After I login the nvidia driver adjusts the screen and I'm at full res again. How do I fix the login resolution before nvidia kicks in? | 10:16 |

| ubottu | Aaron: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 10:21 |
| Aaron | ok .. | 10:21 |
| velvithammer | yeah it is strange that they'd move somewhere else | 10:21 |
| computer_ | only iso can be a cdrom drive? cant i use a folder within my system? | 10:22 |
| the_gamer | hi folks | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | computer_: indeed, just create a symbolic link to the folder | 10:22 |
| Aaron | I want to order by the MEM when I use the top command ,so .. | 10:22 |
| Dima_Sharihin | ActionParsnip, what i can do to enable "Delete" key? it's very uncomfortable =) | 10:22 |

| velvithammer | just mount the iso | 10:25 |
| bazhang | ubuntufan, /join #ubuntu-cn | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Aaron but the filesystem thinks the folders are contained within the folder with the symbolic link | 10:25 |
| ubuntufan | i am first use x-chat login the IRC | 10:26 |
| bazhang | ubuntufan, or -tw or -hk :) | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Aaron: if you have a folder someplace you can symlink it so you can easilty traverse folders | 10:26 |
| ubuntufan | bazhang,ok i am fang main land | 10:26 |
| computer_ | i want /home/me/folder to be a virtual cdrom drive. can someone help? | 10:26 |

| computer_ | ???????????? | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | aaron: so if you make a symbolic link in /media to a folder then you can easily navigate to it to save data, the program you save data in will think the folder is in /media but its not. its wherever the link is linked to | 10:27 |

| computer_ | hi | 10:27 |
| computer_ | i want /home/me/folder to be a virtual cdrom drive. can someone help? | 10:28 |
| rconan | computer_, since a cdrom is just mounted as a folder in ubuntu i don't understand what you mean | 10:28 |
| snakezx | why is it working with 7.04 and when i installed 8.04 it stopped working | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Aaron: a good example of this is my setup. I have all my data stored on a seperate box, my folders for images and music are symlinks over the lan but my computer thinks they are local folders | 10:28 |
| Dima_Sharihin | computer_, don't reply question | 10:28 |
| snakezx | do u think it will work when 8.10 is out | 10:28 |
| meekolope | computer_: do "ln -s /path/to/ure/cdrom /home/me/folder" | 10:28 |
| computer_ | how do u make a folder mount as a cdrom drive? | 10:28 |
| Aaron | ActionParsnip,okey ,thanks again | 10:28 |
| bazhang | computer_, dont repeat so often please | 10:29 |
| Dima_Sharihin | snakezx, you change kernel? | 10:29 |
| Rakeer | rconan: oh I know what hes talking about...theres a way to spoof the shell to think the folder is a cd drive and acts as such... | 10:29 |
| guntbert | computer_: please tell me, why you want to do that | 10:29 |
| rconan | you could just mount -o bind the folder to where your cdrom drive normally is | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | computer_: cdroms are folders just like regular folders | 10:29 |
| snakezx | Dima_Sharihin yes when i use the 7.04 it works fine with 8.04 but when i use the 8.04 kernel it doesnt | 10:29 |
| computer_ | i want to test something to see if it works | 10:29 |
| Aaron | ActionParsnip, I have a another queastion for you | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Aaron: go for it | 10:29 |

| Dima_Sharihin | snakezx, hm. i'm have upgrade my ubuntu from 7.10 to 8.04 too. And wifi doesn't works with 2.6.24. May be, that ndiswrapper or other driver configured for old kernel? | 10:31 |
| samphippen | rconan, how do i use bridge-utils? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | rconan: its !info <package> | 10:31 |
| rconan | ActionParsnip, ah... my bad | 10:31 |

| velvithammer | same thing | 10:34 |
| Aaron | ActionParsnip,thanks a lot , I can see | 10:34 |
| savvas0 | computer_: you make an iso out of it and mount it as a cd image | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | computer_: when you mount a cd drive it becomes a folder in the file system | 10:34 |

| rconan | Bollinger, well... not a clear command, there is a way to do it in there though | 10:37 |
| asho79 | i have this to go off....Just open a shell in the src/driver path and type: | 10:37 |
| asho79 | make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-18-generic/build M=`pwd` modules | 10:37 |
| asho79 | In the above command replace /lib/modules/2.6.24-18-generic/build to the path corresponding to | 10:37 |
| asho79 | your system. After successfully compiling the driver you should have the file smartcam.ko in the | 10:37 |

| rconan | Alver11, i don't think so | 10:40 |
| bazhang | Alver11, not to worry; they are likely need security fixes and such | 10:41 |
| rconan | Alver11, kernel updates are fairly frequent | 10:41 |
| Alver11 | rconan, thats what i meant they are too frequent | 10:41 |
| koshari | Alver11 remember that with linux there are lots of driver modules in the kernel which are constantly being updated. | 10:41 |
| velvithammer | not daily though | 10:41 |

| rconan | Alver11, there's nothing you can do, it is not a problem though | 10:43 |

| Alver11 | so how do i speed up my start up time | 10:44 |

| Rakeer | anyone remember me? it's been a few years since I logged on :P (ubuntu 6.04~) | 10:45 |
| rconan | Alver11, the kernel updates are not the issue | 10:45 |
| bazhang | Alver11, that is quite a slowdown | 10:45 |
| Alver11 | rconan, yes i understand that thank you | 10:45 |
| Dima_Sharihin | in what kernel Texas Instruments 5-in-1 card reader will read XD cards? | 10:45 |
| bazhang | Alver11, check which services are starting up that you do not need and disable them | 10:45 |
| rconan | Alver11, have you installed anything which you know runs on startup (servers mainly) | 10:45 |
| benzss | is realplayer in the repos? | 10:46 |
| bazhang | benzss, no, go to their site and get the installer | 10:46 |
| Alver11 | rconan, yes i have apache installed i use it to play with php mysql | 10:46 |
| benzss | bazhang: rgr | 10:46 |
| rconan | Alver11, so some extra time will be apache and mysql starting | 10:46 |
| bazhang | benzss, the installer is case sensitive though so be careful :) | 10:46 |
| Alver11 | rconan, i think i should turn them off too and make some small script to start them whenever i need and place it on panel | 10:47 |
| rconan | Alver11, i don't know offhand how you disable the automatic startup in ubuntu | 10:47 |

| pajamian | reehan: try the live CD, if it works then you can install it. | 11:28 |
| reehan | ok pajamian :). thanks for the help | 11:28 |
| Dima_Sharihin | reehan, and.... why u need x64 bit system? | 11:29 |
| agent | after installing ubuntu, i get a grub error 17, but after reinstalling ubuntu again, i get error 18. I tried re-installing windows mbr but that does not work either... any ideas? I also tried re-installing grub many times | 11:29 |
| reehan | Just doing some project work yaa.....so have to fix my h/w s/w | 11:29 |
| Dima_Sharihin | agent, reinstall ubuntu again, and get error 19 =) | 11:29 |
| agent | Dima_Sharihin, :( | 11:29 |
| arvind_khadri | agent, maybe your partitions are a toast....wipe everything and then partition it and then install Ubuntu | 11:29 |
| pajamian | reehan: I should warn you that 64 bit ubuntu has a few issues with things such as flash, java, proprietary AV codecs, etc. | 11:30 |
| arvind_khadri | pajamian, they have all been removed...doesnt affect muct to the end user ... | 11:30 |
| reehan | oh oh....thanks man...i ll surely take that into my consideration first | 11:30 |
| agent | arvind_khadri, I cannot wipe everything as I have a LOT of important information on there... partitions seem okay when I mount them in livecd | 11:30 |
| eitri | pajamian, I've used for some time on my laptop. and had no problems | 11:30 |
| reehan | does anyone of u know how do i install qt | 11:30 |
| pajamian | well, last time I tried 64 bit was feisty, maybe there have been improvements since then. | 11:31 |
| arvind_khadri | reehan, sudo apt-get install qt-3 | 11:31 |
| arvind_khadri | agent, copy them somewhere...and then have a new geometry | 11:31 |
| reehan | ok | 11:31 |
| Dima_Sharihin | ok, tnx2all, bye! | 11:32 |
| eitri | pajamian, honestly, I have no clue to that.. But worked for me :) | 11:32 |
| hml | what's a linux-compatible, cheap tablet? i don't care much about pressure sensistivity, but i want the x/y pixel measurements to be accurate | 11:32 |
| reehan | its giving cudnt find package qt-3 | 11:32 |
| reehan | :( | 11:32 |
| arvind_khadri | !qt | reehan | 11:32 |
| ubottu | reehan: Qt is the Qt (pronounced "cute") toolkit, which forms the base of KDE and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI. Install the libqt3-mt-dev package to compile Qt 3 applications or libqt4-dev for Qt 4 applications. Qt 4.4 is available from hardy-backports | 11:32 |
| pajamian | eitri: when I tried it in feisty, I had to install a seperate copy of 32 bit FF just to get flash and java to work properly. the 32 bit plugin wrapper didn't work for me. | 11:33 |
| xanax` | isn't ubuntu intrepid ibex alpha 4 completely uninstallable ? once just launched, the cd install reports a kernel error | 11:33 |
| agent | besides wiping all partitions, any ideas on how to fix grub/mbr? | 11:34 |
| reehan | thanx2all guys | 11:34 |
| arvind_khadri | xanax`, ask #ubuntu+1 | 11:34 |
| pajamian | !intrepid | xanax` | 11:34 |
| ubottu | xanax`: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! | 11:34 |

| acemo | agent: boot from a live cd, open a console, type grub | 11:35 |
| Zhane | I did "rm -rf " some files when I'm the root.. the files seems to be still hogging my diskspace.. How can i clear them off? my root's trash @ /root/.local/share/Trash/ does not have those files | 11:35 |
| acemo | agent: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 11:35 |
| agent | acemo, find /boot/grub/stage1, root(hdX,X), setup(hdX)... done that a few times already :( | 11:35 |
| acemo | =o | 11:36 |
| acemo | that pretty much worked for me | 11:36 |
| pajamian | Zhane: if you rm -rf them they are gone | 11:36 |
| acemo | maybe you put it on wrong partition? | 11:36 |
| agent | acemo, and i installed ubuntu after windows :D and annoying thing is, i cannot even recover the windows bootloader now :( | 11:36 |
| Zhane | pajamian.. i rm -rf a few of the 200mb files.. but they are still present when i do "df" | 11:37 |
| acemo | thats weird.. installing linux after windows always gone good for me | 11:37 |
| Sorcererbob | I have a general linux question. Is there something like Active Directory in the Linux world? central authentication (via samba for windows clients?), ability to run startup scripts, map network drives, set up printers for the domain, group policies, etc? | 11:37 |
| agent | acemo, i doubt it because grub is installed but gives fatal errors | 11:37 |
| Zhane | the disk space doesnt change | 11:37 |
| agent | acemo, yea, me too... this is the first time some weird thing like this has happened | 11:37 |
| krisbae | Sorcererbob use openldap | 11:37 |
| pajamian | Zhane: then they are probably hard linked somewhere else in the file system. | 11:37 |
| Sorcererbob | openldap, thanks krisbae | 11:37 |
| krisbae | Sorcererbob openldap and other services | 11:37 |
| Sorcererbob | can you name the other services? | 11:37 |
| Zhane | pajamian: what can I do? | 11:38 |
| pajamian | Zhane: find the other place where they are listed and remove them from there too | 11:38 |
| Zhane | Pajamian: how? | 11:38 |
| krisbae | Sorcererbob dhcpd . bind , samba , etc and.. you can control system with ssh | 11:38 |
| pajamian | Zhane: in Linux filesystems a file can have more than one directory entry, the actual file doesn't get removed until all its directory entries are deleted. | 11:38 |
| Sorcererbob | oh cool, yeah I figured those | 11:38 |
| krisbae | Sorcererbob many services support ldap authentification | 11:38 |
| Sorcererbob | I thought you meant something secret and magical. again, thanks for your help krisbae | 11:39 |
| Zhane | pajamian: i did rm -rf to the main directory though | 11:39 |
| Aquahallic | krisbae: in reference to your answer to Sorcererbob.... Can OpenLdap take the place of a DC? | 11:39 |
| ganesh | how can i install flying windows ccsm plugin? | 11:39 |
| pajamian | Zhane: I know, and the only explanation I can think of is that either the file is hard linked somewhere else or you are mistaken and you really did recover the space or there was an error in the filesystem when you removed the file. | 11:40 |
| krisbae | Aquahallic not totaly | 11:40 |
| Aquahallic | k... ty | 11:41 |
| krisbae | Aquahallic as you know openldap is just authentification | 11:41 |
| Zhane | okay then | 11:41 |
| krisbae | Aquahallic you need to configure other services with ldap | 11:41 |
| Zhane | i guess all that i can do is to reinstall | 11:41 |
| pajamian | Zhane: no, there is other ways | 11:41 |
| Zhane | i dont know what else I can do | 11:41 |
| krisbae | DC has more powerful features but ldap with other services and scripting can be better | 11:41 |
| pajamian | Zhane: ok, here is my suggestion ... | 11:42 |
| Aquahallic | that's what I was looking for... ;) | 11:42 |
| krisbae | ( it depends how many things se knows ) | 11:42 |
| pajamian | Zhane: first try booting to the live CD and running fsck on the partition to make sure that there weren't any errors when you removed the files. | 11:42 |
| Aquahallic | we use an 'nix based appliance called Infoblox at work... it's doing our DNS and DHCP right now | 11:42 |
| Zhane | im using wubi.. will fsck work? | 11:43 |
| ganesh | how can i install flying windows ccsm plugin? | 11:43 |
| pajamian | Zhane: then if you still haven't recovered the space I would go hunting to see if you can find the other place where the file is linked in your file system... | 11:43 |
| arvind_khadri | pajamian, for that he need not boot into livecd he can use sudo shutdown -F -r | 11:43 |
| Aquahallic | that way we could offload those services from the DC | 11:43 |
| P3X-018 | when doing a "ls -l" command, I know that the "d" as the first character in the permission list refers to directory, but what does "l" mean? | 11:43 |
| krisbae | Aquahallic yes | 11:43 |
| krisbae | Aquahallic I did same thing for small offices | 11:43 |
| pajamian | Zhane: ugh wubi, that changes everything, sorry, I can't help you with wubi, maybe someone else can. | 11:43 |
| Zhane | nvm then... | 11:43 |
| Vourdex | OK, I need some help. I am running Xubuntu, and I need to know how to get permission to copy files from my laptops interal had to my external hd? I wont let me paste to the external hd can anyone help? PS First time I have used Xubuntu. Thx! | 11:44 |
| Zhane | reinstall might be easier =_= | 11:44 |
| serkancan | anyone want to meet turk boy ? | 11:44 |
| P3X-018 | Like there is for a folder "drwx------" but there are some with "lrwx------" <-- what does "l" refer to? | 11:44 |
| l3d | I thought there was a simple systray music player but I cant seem to find it any ideas? | 11:45 |
| * Zhane off to reinstall | 11:45 | |
| arvind_khadri | P3X-018, they are linked to some other file | 11:45 |
| === Rakeer13 is now known as Rakeer | ||
| zhaozhou | P3X-018, symlink. | 11:46 |
| P3X-018 | Which is what exactly? A sort of "shortcut" to other directory? | 11:46 |
| zhaozhou | P3X-018, Or file. | 11:46 |
| P3X-018 | ok | 11:46 |
| chris062689 | Hey guys, I have a huge question, I'm relying on you! | 11:46 |
| chris062689 | In order to stay using Linux, I must install "Alice" for school. | 11:47 |
| arvind_khadri | P3X-018, not really, they are linked to each other...if you change one the other too changes | 11:47 |
| zhaozhou | !ask | 11:47 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 11:47 |
| chris062689 | It requires Java 1.4, but how the heck do I install that in a 64bit environment? | 11:47 |
| zhaozhou | chris062689, sun-java? (: | 11:47 |
| chris062689 | that installs the wrong versoin | 11:47 |
| chris062689 | which brings up an error. | 11:47 |
| ganesh | how do i install flying windows? | 11:47 |
| Rakeer | Can someone tell me where to find packages for ubuntu like 'rpm' to download manually? | 11:47 |

| arvind_khadri | sandhya, then set that up... :) | 12:01 |
| Exlax | 4GB. | 12:01 |
| chris062689 | Ungh, now I have to figure out how to undo what I just did (slaughtered my system trying to install Java lol) | 12:01 |
| Exlax | I'm on 32bit. I was curious if 64bit would make a difference. | 12:01 |
| sandhya | how ? | 12:01 |
| pajamian | Exlax: damn, that's a lot, it might do, 32 bit will only recognize 3.5 gig unless you use the server kernel ... | 12:01 |
| arvind_khadri | !alsa | sandhya | 12:02 |
| ubottu | sandhya: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 12:02 |
| chris062689 | Exlax: 32 to 64bit does make a slightly significance. | 12:02 |
| pajamian | Exlax: anyways, does the HDD seem to be running constantly when it happens? | 12:02 |
| sandhya | on tnx arvind_khadri | 12:02 |
| chris062689 | Exlax: If you have to choose, go with 64bit to future proof yourself, besides most packages are also built for 64bit operating systems now | 12:02 |

| Exlax | I know chris. | 12:02 |
| arvind_khadri | sandhya, welcome | 12:02 |
| Exlax | pajamian: I haven't checked, but what will happen is i'll go to open a termianl and it'll just be a white square with a window decoration. | 12:02 |
| Exlax | After that, some applications will show up as black squares with window decorations, firefox won't start at all, it won't log me out unless i ctrl+alt+backspace | 12:03 |
| spike1 | Hello... need some help... anyone know anything about video tuner cards? | 12:03 |
| pajamian | Exlax: that sounds like RAM running out. That hsouldn't happen with 4gig, but maybe you have a program that is leakign a lot of memory. | 12:03 |
| Exlax | and if i ctrl+alt+backspace and log back in, it just hangs. | 12:03 |
| pajamian | Exlax: and if you reboot it takes another 3-4 hours before it happens again, right? | 12:03 |
| Exlax | pajamian: I noticed conky only shows ram increases; not decreases. after a few hours of uptime my memory meter will be full in conky, but in the system monitor its fine. | 12:04 |
| Exlax | pajamian: correct. | 12:04 |

| Malwir | ROMFLMPO | 12:05 |
| Exlax | but for some reason i've always felt like firefox was responsible, it always seems to happen right after i close firefox. | 12:05 |
| Exlax | and firefox is the only app that just won't start at all | 12:05 |
| Exlax | this doesn't happen on 7.10, at all. | 12:05 |
| pajamian | FireFox is a known memory hog. | 12:05 |
| Malwir | pajamian, maybe it's the user that is the memory hog | 12:05 |

| sandhya | arvind_khadri, wifi still does'nt work .. | 12:06 |
| sandhya | :-) | 12:06 |

| pajamian | Exlax: heh, ok, well I'm sorry to say, you've already exhausted all my ideas. | 12:08 |
| Exlax | pajamian: thanks for the help though, do you think it would be of any worth to try 64bit? | 12:08 |

| tghy | bazhang: Thx | 12:12 |
| erUSUL | Malwir: sudo apt-get install gimp (but is installed by default afaik). Btw is almost impossible that a userspace app lost "kernel support" | 12:13 |

| Vourdex | When I am using file manager and I right click on the file on my internal drive and click copy and then go to sda1 in file manager and right click in folder to paste its grayed out, please help | 12:14 |
| spike1 | what errors is gimp giving if you type gimp into a terminal? | 12:14 |
| darjeeling | is there anyone who use renderman in ubuntu? | 12:14 |
| bdunlap | Malwir, i'd contact the kernel team, or the gimp team, or someone. they should fix that. Losing kernel support is like losing a limb. | 12:14 |

| spike1 | what error? | 12:17 |

| Malwir | ok now the gray gimp window won't respond, but gives the same message | 12:20 |
| spike1 | what do you want to grep for? | 12:20 |
| Malwir | I should grep it? | 12:20 |
| spike1 | no, that was to Sorcererbob | 12:21 |
| bazhang | lsusb | grep Logitech tghy what does that return | 12:21 |
| Sorcererbob | spike1, lets say the file was called maillog.log and I wanted to find "SMTP" | 12:21 |
| Sorcererbob | as in, print all the lines with "SMTP" in them | 12:21 |
| spike1 | grep SMTP /var/log/maillog.log | 12:21 |

| spike1 | various useful switches too | 12:21 |
| tghy | bazhang: http://paste.org.ru/?iw8jn4 | 12:21 |
| Sorcererbob | yeah, i thoguht it would be "some command | grep SMTP" | 12:22 |
| spike1 | -i (ignore case) -v (invert search... i.e. search for everything that ISN'T SMTP), -r (recurse into directories) | 12:22 |

| Malwir | ok I grep the gimp and now my terminal is not responding at all, gimp is still frozen | 12:22 |
| Dillizar | i have a problem i cant install one update | 12:22 |
| spike1 | you can use cat maillog.log | grep SMTP | 12:22 |
| spike1 | but grep can do it by itself | 12:22 |
| bdunlap | Malwir, I've heard the only way to reset GIMP configuration is to format your home partition, and do a partial reinstall with the live CD. remount the clean partition in the emergency environment and copy the home folder back over. | 12:23 |
| Sorcererbob | ok, I'll read up on the cat function too. I imagine its useful for other things too because I've seen it referenced. thanks again spike1 | 12:23 |
| bazhang | sudo ls /dev/vid* returns what tghy | 12:23 |
| spike1 | bdunlap sorry, that's rubbish | 12:23 |
| guestguestnew | how do i name a disk? gparted doesn't let you.. | 12:23 |
| spike1 | you don't need to format your home partition | 12:23 |

| spike1 | for ANY reason | 12:23 |
| Malwir | bdunlap, ok so how do i format it | 12:24 |
| bdunlap | spike, ok sorry. im pretty new to linux. | 12:24 |
| bazhang | bdunlap, no. | 12:24 |
| spike1 | if you want to reset the gimp's settings... | 12:24 |
| spike1 | just delete the .gimp-2.4 directory | 12:24 |
| spike1 | rm -r .gimp-2.4 | 12:24 |
| bazhang | bdunlap, never suggest that here. | 12:24 |
| Malwir | ok I have partition editor, right? | 12:25 |
| bdunlap | bazhang, im sorry i was just trying to help. | 12:25 |
| spike1 | Malwir | 12:25 |
| spike1 | forget everything bdunlap said | 12:25 |
| spike1 | do not format your home partition | 12:25 |
| spike1 | don't even think about it | 12:25 |

| xukun | when I copy a directory I get this error. "cp: failed to preserve ownership for `/media/usb/.mozilla-thunderbird/02gaoob6.default': Operation not permitted" Any idea? | 12:26 |
| bazhang | tghy, then you need to install xawtv | 12:26 |
| tghy | bazhang: I have it. | 12:26 |
| jrib | xukun: what's the current ownership on it? | 12:26 |
| bdunlap | i dont understand what is a .gimp-2.4 directory, where is it? | 12:26 |
| xukun | jrib, how can I see that? | 12:26 |
| bazhang | xawtv -c /dev/video0 tghy | 12:26 |
| spike1 | in your home directory, bdunlap | 12:26 |
| spike1 | . files are hidden normally | 12:26 |
| spike1 | they show up with ls -a | 12:27 |
| jrib | bdunlap: view -> show hidden files in your HOME. It is: ~/.gimp-2.4/ | 12:27 |
| spike1 | they hold configuration data for different programs | 12:27 |
| jrib | spike1: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying | 12:27 |
| Malwir | if i repartitioned like bdunlap said , would it get rid of .gimp24 folder too? | 12:27 |
| spike1 | ok | 12:27 |
| bdunlap | hidden. ohhh i was going to say... all i see is Desktop, Documents, Pictures, etc. | 12:27 |
| jrib | xukun: ls -ld /media/usb/.mozilla-thunderbird/02gaoob6.default | 12:27 |
| tghy | bazhang: xawtv -c /dev/video1 and i see myself | 12:27 |
| bdunlap | why are folders hidden? | 12:27 |
| spike1 | malwir, do NOT format your PARTITION | 12:28 |
| Malwir | yeah if it's hidden, then that means I can't find it, right? | 12:28 |
| tghy | Format it | 12:28 |
| jrib | bdunlap: anything that starts with a '.' is hidden. The reason is so they don't clutter your view of what really matters: your data (pictures, docs, etc.). | 12:28 |
| bdunlap | malwir, show hidden files shows it. | 12:28 |
| jrib | Malwir: hidden, really just means, "out of your way" | 12:28 |
| bdunlap | jrib, makes sense. but why wouldn't they be in /usr/share or something? | 12:28 |
| bazhang | tghy, did you set v4l2 as plugin in ekiga | 12:28 |
| jrib | bazhang: because they are your user's settings | 12:28 |
| bazhang | jrib, what? | 12:29 |
| Malwir | bdunlap, maybe i should move the hidden files to /usr/share ??? | 12:29 |
| tghy | bazhang: Yes. | 12:29 |
| jrib | bazhang: bah | 12:29 |
| bazhang | heh | 12:29 |
| jrib | bdunlap: because they are your user's settings | 12:29 |
| bdunlap | malwir, that would make sense to me. but i wonder if it could be automaticly done. | 12:29 |
| bazhang | tghy, so your color is just really dark? you said that the cam works now correct? is there an error otherwise | 12:30 |
| spike1 | Malwir, stop fiddlin with things you don't understand, the hidden files are in your home directory because they hold the settings for all YOUR programs | 12:30 |
| jrib | Malwir: your user doesn't have write permissions there. Trust me, leave things as they are :) | 12:30 |
| Aquahallic | folks.... does linux have anything that'd be comparable to MS Sharepoint? | 12:31 |
| spike1 | what's sharepoint? | 12:31 |
| bdunlap | spike1, but isn't malwir's gimp frozen or broken or something? | 12:31 |
| bazhang | !equivalents | Aquahallic check here | 12:31 |
| ubottu | Aquahallic check here: A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant | 12:31 |
| Malwir | Aquahallic, bittorrent can beuseful to share things | 12:31 |
| spike1 | yes, but all he needs to do is delete one directory (folder in windows parlance) | 12:31 |
| xukun | jrib, the file I want to copy is on home dir. and it has my username as owner | 12:31 |
| tghy | bazhang: xawtv -c /dev/video1 work fine. But Ekiga wont show myself! And giving me damn error! | 12:31 |
| jrib | xukun: can you paste the output from the command? | 12:32 |
| Aquahallic | Sharepoint does orgchart structure and let's you "share" information among co-workers just to name a few | 12:32 |
| bdunlap | as a note of caution, the command "rm -r" is very dangerous, please use with caution | 12:32 |
| andycan | I can no longer burn iso's with groisofs, it gives me " "/dev/dvd=IMAGE1.iso": unexpected errno:No such file or directory" /dev/dvd does not exist anymore either, theres /dev/dvd1 and /dev/dvdrw | 12:32 |
| Malwir | if i delete a folder when the program is running, wouldn't that wreck my hard drive? | 12:32 |
| bdunlap | i learned that the hard way | 12:32 |

| bdunlap | malwir, i would think so. but i dont know. | 12:33 |
| jrib | xukun: that's not the command I gave :/ | 12:33 |
| spike1 | andycan. what does ls -l /dev/dvd1 give? | 12:33 |
| andycan | spike1: I just tried /dev/dvd1=image.iso and it worked. Though, why would it change from /dev/dvd to /dev/dvd1? | 12:34 |

| tavi | someone say to me how to install flash player | 12:36 |
| tavi | ? | 12:36 |
| Agion | jrib: by downloading it from the internet | 12:37 |
| backwaters | hi | 12:37 |
| andycan | Agion: usually cd to install dir and run 'make uninstall' | 12:37 |
| jpds | !flash | tavi | 12:37 |
| ubottu | tavi: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 12:37 |
| jrib | tavi: visit a page that requires flash and click on the yellow bar in firefox. badgerbadgerbadger.com for example | 12:37 |
| jrib | Agion: so delete the download if that's really all you did to install it | 12:37 |
| tavi | and tehen | 12:37 |
| tavi | ? | 12:37 |
| Paragtim_ | Have install Samba and can see out to the Windows PC. But can see Ubuntu from Windows | 12:37 |

| Agion | jrib: it was a .deb file and I installed it by double clicking... so how can I remove it? :D | 12:38 |
| andycan | Anyone know what "UBU" refers to in growisofs? | 12:38 |

| spike1 | anyone know anything about video tuner cards? | 12:39 |
| backwaters | it shows in grey in my screen, so i thought you cannot see it | 12:39 |
| spike1 | problem: mythtv, no sound. MPlayer/kdetv/tvtime... I get sound... but not if I try to capture using mencoder or streamer. | 12:39 |
| [z]linux | how can i remove/uninstall flash player and install it again? | 12:40 |
| bazhang | spike1, another place to ask is #ubuntu-mythtv as well | 12:40 |
| spike1 | thanks, I'll try there | 12:40 |
| jrib | xukun: try 'find .mozilla-thunderbird/02gaoob6.default ! -user $USER' | 12:40 |
| Pici | !tv | spike1 have you read this too | 12:40 |
| ubottu | spike1 have you read this too: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 12:40 |
| backwaters | hi anyone got this sound card to work: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 SMBus Controller (rev 83) | 12:40 |
| Agion | jrib: it was a .deb file and I installed it by double clicking... so how can I remove it? :D | 12:40 |
| jrib | [z]linux: why? reinstalling rarely solves anything. In any case, the name of the package is 'flashplugin-nonfree' | 12:41 |
| bazhang | backwaters, did you check under sound prefs | 12:41 |
| doctorow | If I want to reinstall Xine, which packages should I be looking at? | 12:41 |
| Aquahallic | bazhang: that site ROX.... ty VERY much! | 12:41 |
| bazhang | backwaters, also is this your second card | 12:41 |
| jrib | Agion: use system -> administration -> synaptic | 12:41 |
| bazhang | Aquahallic, nice :) | 12:41 |
| Agion | jrib: thax! | 12:41 |
| spike1 | ubottu: I have it working in tvtime/kdetv/mplayer... but not mythtv (no sound) | 12:41 |
| Agion | +n' | 12:41 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:41 |
| backwaters | bazhang, this is the only card i have | 12:41 |
| spike1 | and capture doesn't capture the sound either... I'll nip ovewr to #ubuntu-mythtv | 12:41 |
| backwaters | I can see that the card is detected and I can adjust thi volume. but so sound | 12:42 |
| bazhang | backwaters, I would set to alsa from autodetect and see if that changes anything; also go to terminal and type alsamixer and make sure nothing is muted. | 12:42 |
| [z]linux | jrib: coz i think i mistakenly install a flash player plugin thats not from adobe and it doesnt work on some websites | 12:42 |
| ehtom | I installed the whole of ubuntu to LVM partitions (including /boot)... I want to fix this :P | 12:43 |
| backwaters | bazhang, checked. nothin is muted | 12:43 |
| bazhang | backwaters, then switch from autodetect to alsa and do the test in sound prefs | 12:43 |
| backwaters | bazhang, how to do that? | 12:43 |
| bazhang | backwaters, system prefs sound | 12:44 |
| backwaters | bazhang, ok checking | 12:44 |
| smoser | maybe someone can help. I'm on hardy. default mount options are 'relatime'. i want 'atime' . nothing i do can get that to take. Ie: | 12:44 |

| backwaters | bazhang, sorry i cannot find that menu. is it same as the settings manager? I am using Xfce. | 12:45 |
| backwaters | bazhang, or is there a command for it? | 12:45 |
| [z]linux | jrib: whats that? i will copy paste that command in terminal? | 12:45 |
| jrib | [z]linux: yeah | 12:46 |
| dinesh_ | hi | 12:46 |
| [z]linux | jrib: nothing happens | 12:46 |
| bazhang | backwaters, aha, that was for gnome; not sure where it it in xubuntu | 12:47 |

| bazhang | backwaters, it works? | 12:48 |
| dinesh_ | new linux user plz tell me how to begin in linux, i had done work on windows | 12:49 |
| omar | somebody's here ? | 12:49 |
| bazhang | dinesh_, using ubuntu? | 12:49 |
| bazhang | omar yes | 12:49 |

| dinesh_ | bazhang:yes | 12:49 |
| backwaters | bazhang, no it doesnt | 12:49 |
| sorsis | dinesh_: lern few words first, "howto", man, reference and help | 12:49 |
| bazhang | dinesh_, what is your question | 12:49 |
| sorsis | dinesh_: ubuntu forums are quite good information sources for your most problems at start. | 12:50 |
| bazhang | backwaters, sorry, dont know much about xubuntu settings; you can ask others here and post a message in #xubuntu as well | 12:50 |
| jrib | [z]linux: oh, I missed one :) How about: locate libswfdecmozilla.so | 12:50 |
| backwaters | bazhang, ok thanks | 12:50 |
| dinesh_ | bazhang :actually i am a beginner in linux so i want to know from where to start and tell me abt some books and websites | 12:51 |
| jrib | dinesh_: help.ubuntu.com is a great place to start | 12:51 |
| bazhang | dinesh_, no special problems with your ubuntu install? | 12:51 |
| sorsis | dinesh_: and overall it's best if you use forums as much as possible since there is a lot of answers allready given. it eats supporters time to ask same questions million time in irc | 12:51 |
| sorsis | dinesh_: but for starters it might be easier for you to ask things here since you can get a lot more undertsnding support than those CLI instructions at forums | 12:52 |
| dinesh_ | i had already installed ubuntu i want to know from where to start because every time i open linux i donot know what to do | 12:53 |
| indy__ | ciao a tutti | 12:53 |
| bazhang | dinesh_, to do what | 12:53 |

| indy__ | sorry | 12:53 |
| bazhang | dinesh_, you really need to ask clear questions as this is a busy channel :) | 12:54 |
| sorsis | dinesh_: if you want to see something neat what linux is capable nowdays start to strugle with "compiz fusion" if you video card is supported. you get familiar with basics of linux and get rewarded with most sleakiest desktop any comp carries on the earth. don't forget "avant window navigator" | 12:54 |

| sorsis | or was it "i'm feeling lucky" | 13:05 |
| jrib | nivek_unix: ok let's do this one step at a time. 1. go to virtualbox.org 2. click on "Downloads" 3. click no "Binaries" 4. select Ubuntu 8.04 "(whatever your arch is)" as your platform 5. check "agree" 6. click "continue" 7. click on the .deb link to download it | 13:05 |
| jrib | omar: better to just repeat your question after waiting a bit. I have no idea what your problem is | 13:06 |
| DjAngo23NL | bazhang: The MD5 is correct :S | 13:06 |

| omar | jrib : on the login screen and on xfce text is written in big characters ( 72 pt or sthg like that ) | 13:07 |
| bazhang | DjAngo23NL, then I would suggest reburn at low speed | 13:08 |
| DjAngo23NL | Okay, you thinks it's because of the CD then. | 13:09 |
| bazhang | could be DjAngo23NL | 13:09 |
| tghy | huuuu | 13:09 |
| DjAngo23NL | Thanks i will try that | 13:09 |
| bazhang | tghy, what is it | 13:09 |

| bazhang | cavas, do you have ubuntu support question? | 13:30 |
| blankthemuffin | Why does the CPU scaling always insist on scaling down my CPU when I start stressing it? Even on power. | 13:30 |
| reehan | omar, mozilla firefox that has come with ubuntu installation | 13:30 |
| cavas | no...i don t have,what is this: | 13:30 |
| erUSUL | reehan: you right click and choose save target as from the drop down menu | 13:30 |
| bazhang | cavas, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:30 |
| omar | reehan : whats your real problem ? | 13:30 |
| erUSUL | reehan: is exactly the same as in any other browser i used | 13:30 |
| reehan | omar,erUSUL --> there is no option 'save target as.....' | 13:31 |
| omar | reehan : yeah just do it as you have always done | 13:31 |
| reehan | whenever i right click it doesnt give me option 'save target as' | 13:31 |
| FishermansEnemy | what kind of object are you clicking on? | 13:31 |
| reehan | there are all other options but that is not there | 13:31 |
| omar | reehan : wait i'll check the menu | 13:32 |
| reehan | ok | 13:32 |
| Gnutoo | jrib, and how do i list all active services(or all services) with the command line? because "system -> administration -> services" only shows a subset of all services | 13:32 |
| jrib | Gnutoo: you can't (that I know of). Use top, etc. | 13:32 |
| reehan | i tried clicking many things----> pdf,songs....esp songs...when i double click it,it plays in the browser | 13:32 |
| Gnutoo | jrib,ok thanks | 13:32 |
| reehan | and when i right click it,there is no option 'save target as' | 13:33 |
| omar | reehan you do not have save target as ?? | 13:33 |
| reehan | nope:( | 13:33 |
| r4m14z1 | ass. | 13:33 |
| omar | omar: try then to download another browser or check download them all module for firefox | 13:34 |
| nick_ | @find anne clark | 13:34 |
| reehan | which other browser can i use? | 13:34 |
| erUSUL | reehan: well my browser is spanish (my native tongue) but it sure has the "guardar enlace como..." <> "save link as ..." | 13:34 |
| FishermansEnemy | Gnutoo, you can list all possible services by typing ls /etc/init.d/ | 13:34 |
| ganesh | how can i install flying windows plugin? | 13:34 |
| omar | reehan : epiphany is a good one | 13:35 |
| FishermansEnemy | the runlevels are at /etc/rcn.d/ for example /etc/rc5/d for runlevel 5 | 13:35 |
| reehan | ya save link as optionexists...but then the link gets saved not the target thing | 13:35 |
| FishermansEnemy | these whow the servces that staart and stop at each runlevel by calling the scripts in /etc/init.d | 13:35 |
| PryMaL | ganesh, flying windows? | 13:36 |
| omar | reehan : what do you mean by the link is saved ? it is in a new file ? | 13:36 |
| omar | PryMal: i think he's talking about widgets | 13:36 |
| reehan | the html link is saved | 13:36 |
| erUSUL | reehan: in my firefox it saves the actual file not the link? have you tried various links fles? maybe is a problem on the web page? | 13:36 |
| omar | i see | 13:36 |
| Gnutoo | FishermansEnemy, ok thanks...that's what i did... | 13:37 |
| omar | reehan : yeah i think the page is a redirection or sthg like that | 13:37 |
| omar | reehan : can you give me the concerned page | 13:37 |
| erUSUL | reehan: for example try one of the MD5SUM files from here http://ftp.udc.es/ubuntu-releases/8.04/ they work for me | 13:37 |
| FishermansEnemy | BTW the scripts starting S in the rcn.d folders are start scripts, K scripts are kill, or shutdown | 13:37 |
| reehan | ya i tried two-three sites...on windows it works,but not on ubuntu | 13:37 |
| reehan | ok wait i ll try | 13:38 |
| fasttrack | how do i flush my "netstat -r" entry? | 13:38 |
| PryMaL | omar, yeah... not sure! i originally thought compiz-real | 13:38 |
| Denise | someone knows why Ekiga gives errors cuz of sip and gH323 ? | 13:38 |
| ganesh | PryMaL: ccsm flying windows.. | 13:38 |
| Denise | I removed skype | 13:39 |
| Denise | I thought it was that | 13:39 |
| omar | reehan : so your problem is resolved ? | 13:39 |
| fasttrack | i messed up mu routes with "route add -net " commands | 13:39 |
| Denise | but it stills gives errors | 13:39 |
| erUSUL | fasttrack: use "ip route" or "route" to manipulate routing tables | 13:39 |
| reehan | just a sec omar, m trying | 13:39 |
| fasttrack | yes i did.. but i wanna "flush it all" | 13:39 |
| araen | hello | 13:39 |
| erUSUL | fasttrack: route del -net ?? | 13:40 |
| omar | PryMal : it's compiz i think | 13:40 |
| araen | i've some difficults with vlc | 13:40 |
| fasttrack | there is a option "route flush" | 13:40 |
| araen | sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work :D | 13:40 |
| fasttrack | but thats unsupported as yet | 13:40 |
| araen | I don't understand why | 13:40 |
| araen | one time I've the sound, another time I haven't sound | 13:40 |
| fasttrack | "route del -net" for each entry?.. omg... | 13:40 |
| Dillizar | i have a problem i cant install one update | 13:40 |
| fasttrack | isnt there any thng like iptables -F ? | 13:40 |
| PryMaL | ganesh, sudo apt-get install compiz-real | 13:41 |
| PryMaL | ganesh, then you go to system, preferences, advanced desktop settings and set it up in there | 13:41 |
| ganesh | PryMaL: compiz fusion is already installed..flying windows is not there.. | 13:42 |
| erUSUL | fasttrack: http://linux-ip.net/gl/ip-cref/node95.html | 13:43 |
| Pici | ganesh: You may want to join #compiz-fusion and ask them how to install that plugin | 13:43 |
| Pici | PryMaL: there is no compiz-real package fyi | 13:43 |
| omar | ganesh try to set it up in the system , preferences, advanced desktop settings | 13:44 |
| KoolD | Hey all. just a small but frustrating problem. Some applications' (ktorrent, inkscape...) windows do not maximize so i am unable to see some contents in the window. | 13:44 |

| Artful | I need a little bit of advice, inexperienced with linux. I started with 7.10 gnome, update it to 8.04 and now wanting to change to kde4.1 But I've installed various apps, configs etc basically set up numerous things. My question, is it better to just restart again with a new install or is it possible (and wise?) to keep updating my ubuntu.... also if I do keep the install as is, how do I clean up configs of old installs/window | 14:19 |
| Artful | managers/versions.. | 14:19 |
| sorsis | i know that this is old topic but with avant and compiz desktop has never seen this sexy. | 14:19 |

| Jakob_the_liar | what is softirq | 14:20 |
| Jakob_the_liar | and IRQ | 14:20 |

| Toznoshio | Hi community, I am getting this error at boot all of a sudden (dual boot XP/Hardy with grub as the bootloader) "This is not a bootable disk. Please insert a bootable floppy and press any key to try again" I already tried the sudo grub-find /boot/grub/stage1-root (hd0,1)-setup (hd0) route. Please help | 15:08 |

| fogobogo | Toznoshio: seems your windows bootloader is active again. | 15:09 |
| asdhdhd | doggymenz: that dont works so good | 15:09 |
| mika_videodev | Toznoshio: 1. which one are you trying to boot when the problem appears? and 2. where exactly did you install grub ? | 15:09 |

| sorsis | AaronChen: use vlc as firefox plugin? | 15:59 |
| sorsis | tavi: then you need just the plugin | 15:59 |
| AaronChen | No , | 15:59 |

| tavi | Sorry, your platform is not supported. | 16:12 |
| repairubuntu | error is "usb 3-1 new load speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address" error comes while booting and it does not go forward.. it stops here | 16:12 |
| hololight | bofh80: why do you want to? | 16:12 |
| sorsis | tavi: install firefox or iexplorer to wine and browse then | 16:13 |
| bofh80 | hololight, it appears scifiguy951 has some odscure corruption with firefox. if was windows, a chkdsk would fix it. | 16:13 |
| Nextwave | A friend of mine is running ubuntu and they are using a Pentium 3 motherboard, and wishes to upgrade to an AMD socket AM2 motherboard.. is she going to be able to just plug her hard drive to the motherboard and have her ubuntu working ??? or is a reinstall required? | 16:13 |

| lostogre | Nextwave: Should be able to just plug it in an have it work. | 16:14 |
| bofh80 | scifiguy951, have you got more than user on your machine, maybe you could log in as another user and try it ? i want you to run fsck check, but i prefer ubuntu to do it on boot | 16:14 |
| tavi | i do not know linux | 16:14 |
| tavi | i do not know windows even.... | 16:14 |
| bofh80 | hololight, do you know how? you know it schedules one to run every 30 shutdowns or something | 16:14 |
| scifiguy951 | how do i make it do it on boot? | 16:14 |
| Nextwave | lostogre: will ubuntu see her new hardware and continue as normal? | 16:14 |
| sorsis | tavi: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html | 16:14 |
| scifiguy951 | i only have one user | 16:14 |
| hololight | bofh80: guess I walked right in the middle... | 16:14 |
| ushimitsudoki | repairubuntu: does the boot freeze or does it "re-boot" and loop? | 16:15 |
| Entropy51423 | kantor, you should be able to use Audacity via Add/Remove or Synaptic | 16:15 |
| sipior | Entropy51423: sure, but this isn't really a plan 9 channel... | 16:15 |
| Guest12675 | where';s the best audio t/shooting guide | 16:15 |

| tavi | now i surf whit mozzila | 16:15 |
| kantor | thanks | 16:15 |
| sharperguy | I don't think theres such thing as a wav to midi converter | 16:15 |
| Nextwave | lostogre: i'm tempted to just install ubuntu on a system here and then move it to my other power system and see if all goes well :) lol | 16:15 |
| ykphuah | what is the gnome/gtk client for opensync? | 16:15 |
| hololight | bofh80: not sure, could just use the install/live cd to do it, filesystem must be unmounted | 16:16 |
| supermoi1 | hi everyone, have troubles to install flash player on firefox. I download the .tar.gz, and i did : tar xzf flash.tar.gz && cd flash && ./configure && make && sudo make install. it don't want ./configure (does not exist ...) | 16:16 |
| ykphuah | !flash | supermoi1 | 16:16 |
| ubottu | supermoi1: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 16:16 |
| hololight | supermoi1: unless you have a reason, install from synaptic | 16:16 |

| guntbert | acrousey: there exists a sophos antivirus for linux/ubuntu, I don't know about the costs, see http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/topics//1009/1016 | 16:16 |
| lostogre | Nextwave: you can, but I don't think it will be a problem. Drivers are loaded dynamically. Not from a list of expectations like those other OSs. | 16:16 |
| hololight | Nextwave: like lost said, it 'should' notice the new hardware without any problems | 16:17 |
| Nextwave | lostogre: thanks you very much! her old system was using PC133 SDRAM and she was going to buy 2 x 512mB sticks... and then when she saw the cost of the sticks, I told her I can get her a MB,CPU, and DDR2 ram for the same price LOL.. was a no brainer | 16:18 |
| supermoi1 | i use debian on command lines, and aptitude | 16:18 |
| supermoi1 | is for that | 16:18 |
| hololight | Nextwave: but if you hagve manually set up any hardware you will likely have to remove those | 16:18 |
| Nextwave | hololight: I'm a Mandriva user, and I havent even tried this scenario with Mandriva.. so I'm going out on a lim here telling her to get a new system.. if she needs to reinstall for any reason.. she might be upset | 16:19 |
| supermoi1 | guntbert: i check your site. Why not install gnash | 16:20 |
| guntbert | bofh80: did you want to force a fsck on the boot? then "sudo touch /forcefsck" | 16:20 |
| guntbert | supermoi1: ?? | 16:20 |

| Anju | sorry, im such a noob | 16:23 |
| hololight | anju: for ubuntu its .deb | 16:23 |
| Sixofour|Sleep | What Anju? | 16:23 |
| Dillizar | i have a problem i cant install one update can anybody help me ? | 16:23 |
| prince_jammys | Anju: there is none | 16:23 |
| hololight | anju: that is, for an install file | 16:23 |
| hololight | anju: for an 'exe' it doen'st need an extension | 16:23 |
| Sixofour|Sleep | linux doesn't use executeables | 16:23 |
| prince_jammys | heh | 16:24 |
| hololight | well, it does, but they aren't called such | 16:24 |
| Sixofour|Sleep | they are called konsole commands :d | 16:24 |
| Sixofour|Sleep | :D * | 16:24 |
| Anju | a, but how do i know if a file in linux is a program? | 16:24 |
| Anju | :D | 16:24 |
| prince_jammys | Anju: there is no need for a special extension. an executable file can be called anything | 16:24 |
| hololight | anju: in the console.... 'ls -l' | 16:24 |
| Sixofour|Sleep | type its name into konsole | 16:24 |
| Sixofour|Sleep | like right now, type "kate" into console | 16:25 |
| prince_jammys | Anju: use 'file FILENAME' (replace FILENAME with name of file ;) ) | 16:25 |
| ganymede | if i enable updates hardy-backports and then find that i am having problems, can i easily disable hardy backports and bring my packages back down to older versions that i had before enabling hardy-backports? | 16:25 |
| hololight | anju: that pulls up a 'long' directory listing. if the file name has an 'x' associated with it, it is 'executable' | 16:25 |
| Sixofour|Sleep | lol | 16:25 |
| Entropy51423 | Anju, you should use either ADD/REMOVE, Synaptic, online tutorials if you want to user tar.gz, or use .deb files | 16:26 |
| Sixofour|Sleep | just use apt-get | 16:26 |
| ushimitsudoki | anju: you can check the file and see if there is a "x" which indicated the file is meant to be executed - this can include scripts and non-binary executables. the "file" command will give you detailed information if you need that. it depends on what you are after | 16:26 |
| Sixofour|Sleep | its easyer than all of those options | 16:26 |
| dr-know | hi , i want to install ubuntu on flash | 16:27 |
| Sixofour|Sleep | lol? | 16:27 |
| hololight | dr-know: flash on ubuntu? | 16:27 |

| prince_jammys | !flash | dr-know | 16:27 |
| ubottu | dr-know: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 16:27 |
| hololight | dr-know: gui: synaptic -> search for flash-restricted or gnash | 16:27 |

| shiman | hold on | 16:33 |
| dabofh | scifiguy951, sorry my connection went. have you tried logging in as a different user to see if same problem? | 16:33 |
| tavi | [CTCP] Received Version request from manare. | 16:33 |
| hololight | shiman: try nvidia-xconfigure from a console | 16:33 |
| RawkFish | Is Avast 2008 or 2009 compatible with ubuntu | 16:33 |
| hololight | shiman: I have that prob quite a bit.... be forewarned.... if you have made any manual changes you will lose them.... (in a backup) | 16:34 |
| scifiguy951 | how do i fsck check on boot? | 16:34 |
| hololight | opps: nvidia-xconfig | 16:34 |
| shiman | hololight: do it under recovery mode? | 16:36 |
| hololight | scifiguy951: from before..;.. "sudo touch /forcefsck" | 16:36 |
| shiman | hololight: cuz now im on recovery mode | 16:36 |
| flyer | anyone, how do i list my cores id (bitmasks) | 16:36 |
| hololight | shiman: doesn't matter.... but either way you need to reboot | 16:36 |
| shiman | hololight: i cant get into normal mode | 16:36 |
| shiman | hololight: ok thanks. hold on | 16:36 |
| dabofh | hololight, oh cool. then reboot? i couldn't find that information anywhere | 16:36 |
| scifiguy951 | i did it and nothing happened | 16:37 |
| hololight | dabofh: believe so | 16:37 |
| dabofh | scifiguy951, you restarted? | 16:37 |
| scifiguy951 | no | 16:37 |
| dabofh | scifiguy951, nothing will happen when you type in that command, no output means good. now restart and hopefully you see disk check during boot, don't skip it | 16:37 |
| hololight | scifi: that just tells it to do a check on reboot.... fsck cannot do a check on a mounted filesystem | 16:38 |
| jimmio | can't they just restart the xserver if there's an issue with the graphics? Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. Warning: Do not just randomly do that... if nothing is wrong there's no point in closing all your applications. | 16:39 |
| shiman | hololight: can u paste it back? | 16:39 |

| dasdajs | anyone? :) | 16:41 |
| aj10 | to disable compiz the command in run application is metacity --replace ......how do i enable it again?? | 16:42 |
| Anju | another question, does linux uitilize all the available hardware? | 16:42 |
| qrush | This is a problem that's happening constantly. Ubuntu will run great for a few hours and then firefox won't open. Then I won't be able to use the gnome-panel. I don't know how to recover from this. Restarting xorg doesn't help, and usually i have to go into tty and reboot | 16:42 |
| Anju | i mean, like, my video card has SLI? | 16:42 |
| qrush | Nothing is eating up a lot of CPU, it's something that's gone haywire. What cna i do? | 16:42 |
| benjamin | hello | 16:42 |
| RawkFish | Does anyone know if Avast 2008 or 2009 is compatible | 16:43 |
| jimmio | aj10: It's better to turn it on and off by the System>Preferences>Appearance area | 16:43 |
| ifireball | qrush: make note of the processes on your system with"top" and "ps" when it happens, also take a look in /var/log/messages | 16:43 |
| jimmio | RawkFish: Why would you need that? There's only a few viruses for Linux, and when there are, they're patched so quickly it's scary. | 16:44 |
| qrush | ifireball: what am i supposed to be looking for? | 16:44 |
| qrush | ifireball: or logging myself? I don't see anything that's eating up a lot of cpu or ram | 16:44 |
| ifireball | qrush: look for i/o errors or any other hardware related problems | 16:44 |
| Anju | sorry for my questions, im just starting to embrace all the open source community has to offer | 16:44 |
| Anju | :D | 16:44 |
| aj10 | jimmio: but there is no option for enabling and disabling compiz in aprticular in appearance? | 16:44 |
| jimmio | aj10: Visual Effects tab. | 16:45 |
| ifireball | qrush: well, noticing what eats most cpu/ram may give a hint also, check if FF is still running when its window is closed | 16:45 |
| lauren3 | hello.One of my hdd's was screwed up by a windows virus. Is there any way to low level format it with linux rather than running a Dos app? cheers | 16:46 |
| qrush | ifireball: I'm not really huge linux/unix guru...this stuff in /var/log/messages is greek to me | 16:46 |
| qrush | ifireball: and yes, it is still running | 16:46 |
| benjamin | hello, I have a *hopefully* quick question. Does anybody know how to change the gnome main menu button. I tried to replace the normal one but its still the ubuntu logo. Any ideas how to change it properly? | 16:46 |
| qrush | ifireball: 4 copies now that I've tried to start | 16:46 |
| ushimitsudoki | RawkFish: avast has a .deb package for their Linux Home Edition, so I would guess that would work if you feel the need | 16:46 |
| ifireball | qrush: try to see if killing it "solves" the problem | 16:46 |
| qrush | ifireball: Other strange things happen too. For instance now I can't right click on my terminal window | 16:47 |
| omar | is viruses a real threat in linux too ? | 16:47 |
| ushimitsudoki | omar: no | 16:47 |
| hololight | clamav also handles windows viruses as well i believe | 16:47 |
| qrush | ifireball: also if i go to the logout/shutdown button that will most like freeze gnome-panel | 16:47 |
| omar | so why thoses AVs ? | 16:47 |
| benjamin | Then again omar, if you are dual booting any virus' that are found will not be active | 16:47 |
| AaronChen | hi,sorsis and lostogre , Are you stil at here ? I get it! use fbdev argument,like that: mplayer -vo fbdev /my/file/abc.rmvboravi | 16:47 |
| hololight | because there are linux viruses.... also linux can be a file share for windows machines | 16:47 |
| ifireball | qrush: looks like something is grabbing the mouse/keyboard | 16:47 |
| hololight | but linux viruses are rare | 16:48 |
| ushimitsudoki | omar: one good reason is if you are handling mail and you want to scan for users | 16:48 |
| aj10 | jimmio: my prob is...that the videos flicker...even if i change the effects to 'no effects' in appearance... last time someone had told me to use metacity --replace command... but now i have forgotten know how to enable compiz again ....there was some command compiz -- ???? ....i dont remember it | 16:48 |
| ifireball | qrush: might be the dead FF | 16:48 |
| qrush | ifireball: they're all dead now | 16:48 |
| omar | so those AV are killing windows viruses too ? | 16:48 |
| sorsis | AaronChen: so everything is fine now? | 16:48 |
| qrush | ifireball: If i try to start firefox up again it won't work. this is usually when i reboot. | 16:48 |
| hololight | omar: as i recall clamav will handle windows viruses | 16:48 |
| benjamin | If the drive is mounted and the AV scans them. Then yeah | 16:48 |
| qrush | ifireball: I shouldn't have to do that though, and that's why I'm here. :) | 16:48 |
| omar | hololight, thx :-) | 16:49 |
| jimmio | aj10: have you tried the obvious compiz --start or compiz --replace? | 16:49 |
| AaronChen | have a good night gayes,see you next time all! bye bye | 16:49 |
| ifireball | qrush: are you sure all the FF instances and related processes (such as firefox-bin) are dead? | 16:49 |
| qrush | qrush@q-laptop ~> ps aux | grep firefox | 16:49 |
| qrush | qrush 13300 0.0 0.0 3004 768 pts/1 S+ 11:49 0:00 grep firefox | 16:49 |
| qrush | thats all i get | 16:49 |
| jimmio | aj10: that's really strange, videos, audio, everything.... works perfect for me with Compiz on.... even Second Life, a 3D OpenGL game. | 16:51 |
| ushimitsudoki | aj10: if you need to switch compiz on and off, you might want to try fusion-icon. | 16:51 |
| hololight | aj: could be a hardware problem then.... or refresh rate | 16:51 |
| ifireball | qrush and still you get mouse/keyboard weirdness ? | 16:51 |
| qrush | ifireball: actually now i can right click on terminal | 16:52 |
| qrush | ifireball: how odd | 16:52 |
| aj10 | jimmio: actually i have ati radeon graphics card in my laptop... and thers some problem coz of tht... the problem was solved with metacity --replace command | 16:52 |
| dasdajs | I've added %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL in my sudoers file, but sudo still says that my user which is in the admin group, doesn't have access to sudo? how do I fix this? | 16:53 |

| zzdds | if im currently dual-booting ubuntu and XP (ubuntu installed first) - how do I remove the ubuntu partition and get XP to handle booting? | 16:53 |
| poopuser | hi.how do i check my nameserver? | 16:53 |
| Anju | normally, with an nvidia, it doesn;t | 16:53 |
| ifireball | qrush: does writing files to your home directory, /tmp and /usr/tmp work ok? (you can use "touch" to check) | 16:54 |
| hololight | anju: that is only when there is open source drivers for the card (3d drivers) | 16:54 |
| hololight | anju: nvidia doesn't have opensource 3d drivers | 16:54 |
| SlimeyPete | zzdds: you can use XP's partitioner to remove the Ubuntu partition and create a Windows one in its place, or else you can use gparted or PartitionMagic or something | 16:54 |
| Anju | but isnt that nvidia already started releasing drivers for linux? | 16:54 |
| Anju | not sure though if it works | 16:55 |
| ushimitsudoki | zzdds: you need to fix the windows bootloader. I think it is fixmbr? there are guides on the forums for this | 16:55 |
| SlimeyPete | zzdds: to get Windows to handle booting you need to run "fdisk /mbr" from a command prompt in Windows | 16:55 |
| Anju | haven't tried their drivers | 16:55 |
| zzdds | k thanks | 16:55 |

Therefore as part of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Aid to Africa program, please take this as a token of our condolences." -any comments please? | 16:56 |

| chrisdown | Hey guys, trying to install nvidia drivers, but it keeps on telling me it can't find my libc headers? They are version 2.7 but for some reason it can't find them | 17:11 |
| cyban | whats the sudo/update command? | 17:11 |
| Khisanth | cyban: sudo apt-get build-dep xchat should install the stuff you need | 17:11 |
| ShackJack | maek: I do but it's a dell gimped one that doesn't have vmx... still runs XP OK on a 1GB rig - giving 512MB to Winders... | 17:11 |
| Regel | cyban, then libglib2.0-0 is the right package | 17:12 |
| d0lphin_n0el | chrisdown do you download from nvidia or from the apt sources from ubuntu?! | 17:12 |
| chrisdown | apt | 17:12 |
| bofh80 | zzdds, do you know what graphics card it is | 17:12 |
| d0lphin_n0el | chrisdown strange :x | 17:12 |

| maek | ShackJack, I tell a little fib .. I downloaded TinyXP (naughty me) and its been tweaked to use less memory so its perfect for a VM !! and I only have 1.5GB of memory | 17:13 |
| zzdds | bofh80: its an integrated card on the xps m1330 laptop - they don't say who makes it | 17:13 |
| chrisdown | d0lphin_n0el: any way to force it? | 17:13 |
| bofh80 | zzdds, simply run lspci | grep VGA in a terminal | 17:13 |
| d0lphin_n0el | chrisdown do one >>> sudo updatedb "dont know if it help" | 17:13 |
| d0lphin_n0el | and one reboot | 17:13 |
| chrisdown | ok, thanks | 17:13 |
| zzdds | bofh80: intel | 17:14 |
| d0lphin_n0el | chrisdown check if you got the libc installed | 17:14 |
| wiehan | Any experts on cwiid and using a wiimote as a mouse in here? | 17:14 |

| d0lphin_n0el | chrisdown and if not check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:14 |
| chrisdown | check it for what? | 17:14 |
| d0lphin_n0el | to see if the driver is there working ... | 17:15 |
| d0lphin_n0el | and not the default | 17:15 |
| chrisdown | i'm sorry, i'm quite the newb at *nix. | 17:15 |

| dasdajs | when I try to run "sudo ping www.google.com" as a user which is added to the sudoers file, it says "user is not allowed to run sudo on blablabla". how do I fix this? :S | 17:16 |
| dekushrub | dasdajs why are you running a ping command under sudo authority? | 17:16 |
| usser | torx1704, those messages are non-critical | 17:16 |
| ShackJack | dasdajs: you dont need sudo to ping | 17:16 |
| dasdajs | dekushrub, just to try | 17:16 |
| dasdajs | ShackJack, it's just to test | 17:16 |
| wiehan | I am using wminput -c ir_ptr to get wiimote IR tracking and use it as a mouse, but with the -c ir_ptr in only works for a couple of seconds and then I need to resync again, it works perfectly without the IR function but then I need to use the accelorometers and that is quite funky, I have tried using the -d option (which implies -w -r -?) | 17:17 |
| wiehan | Please HElp | 17:17 |
| YLN | anyone here has ubuntu installed in a HD external ? | 17:17 |
| cyban | cool ty much guys - where can I find the package info for various packages to use sudo etc? | 17:17 |
| dekushrub | dasdajs, it works perfectly fine for me. but i just type sudo ping google.com | 17:17 |
| mano | YLN, i got it installed on hd pendrive | 17:17 |
| chrisdown | d0lphin_n0el - what is the open command for it? | 17:17 |
| chrisdown | d0lphin_n0el - i am such a newb ¬¬ | 17:17 |
| ShackJack | dekushrub: I think he's asking how to add another user to sudo | 17:17 |
| psion | I'm sure this is an easy problem, I have solved it before but I don't recall the solution now. I have a new install of ubuntu and I installed the binary nvidia driver from the site, when ever I reboot I get tossed into low res and it doesn't use the driver | 17:18 |
| dekushrub | shackjack, i think you're right | 17:18 |
| Marfi | psion, you'll have to add modelines | 17:18 |
| d0lphin_n0el | chrisdown in the hardware drivers you must be there something ... to install nvidia drivers | 17:18 |
| dasdajs | dekushrub, okay, but well, this is the server edition of ubuntu, and the person how installed the server, didn't add any users to the sudoers list, so I added %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL to the file, and tried again, ofc I've added a user in the group "admin" | 17:18 |
| mano | psion, why dont use ubuntu restricted drivers? | 17:18 |
| wiehan | I am using wminput -c ir_ptr to get wiimote IR tracking and use it as a mouse, but with the -c ir_ptr in only works for a couple of seconds and then I need to resync again, it works perfectly without the IR function but then I need to use the accelorometers and that is quite funky, I have tried using the -d option (which implies -w -r -?) | 17:18 |
| d0lphin_n0el | need to go to the administractor acount | 17:18 |
| bofh80 | zzdds, i'm still lookin, but at least it appears the answer is yes http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5520218 | 17:18 |
| chrisdown | d0lphin_n0el - yeah, but how do i open the .conf? i have no idea of terminal cmds | 17:19 |
| psion | Marfi: modelines? | 17:19 |
| wiehan | chrisdown sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:19 |
| dasdajs | but it still won't work :s | 17:19 |
| Marfi | chrisdown, nano -w (nameoffile).conf, gedit nameoffile.com | 17:19 |
| psion | mano: currently I'm in afghanistan on a very slow connection | 17:19 |
| Marfi | psion, either add that, or you will have to actually put the resolution into your xorg.conf file | 17:20 |
| johnl | how do i set up different usersnames for different servers in irssi? | 17:20 |
| zzdds | bofh80: that's for sound (how do they expect linux to prevail if everything is so confusing) | 17:20 |
| chrisdown | wiehan, marfi, d0lphin_n0el - gedit - command not found | 17:20 |
| Marfi | chrisdown, then use nano -w | 17:21 |
| dasdajs | ShackJack, any idea? | 17:21 |
| chrisdown | marfi - okay, what now | 17:21 |
| Marfi | chrisdown, you edit whatever file your trying to edit. if your trying to edit your xorg.conf file for example, it will be nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:22 |
| chrisdown | yeah i've got that open | 17:22 |
| wiehan | I am using wminput -c ir_ptr to get wiimote IR tracking and use it as a mouse, but with the -c ir_ptr in only works for a couple of seconds and then I need to resync again, it works perfectly without the IR function but then I need to use the accelorometers and that is quite funky, I have tried using the -d option (which implies -w -r -?) | 17:23 |

| Matt097 | Wiehan, ive been to the fourms but theres nothing for my problem exactly | 17:25 |

| chrisdown | sorry, marfi, forgot to put your name in the message | 17:26 |
| chrisdown | marfi - i'm trying to check my libc, it is installed but my nvidia drivers don't recognise it | 17:26 |
| rnd_ | I have installed sun-java-jre, but javawebstart (jlnp) is not working. Any idea? | 17:26 |
| bofh80 | zzdds, it comes down to intel not providing proper linux drivers and configuration tools like ati and nvidia do. well they don't afaik. you are using ubuntu 8.04 i take it? | 17:27 |
| gnuskool | hallo | 17:27 |
| torx1704 | can anybody tell me how to install world of warcraft into ubuntu using wine ? | 17:27 |
| Marfi | chrisdown, then the main place for drivers is /etc/X11/xorg.conf, about half way down the page in "devices". it should say "nvidia" for the driver. if it didn't take the driver, or they weren't installed...it should be set to nv | 17:27 |
| zzdds | bofh80: tried both 7 and 8 - think im just gunna put XP on here | 17:27 |
| chrisdown | and if it isn't set to nvidia what do it? | 17:27 |
| Marfi | torx1704, copy all of the files from the cd/dvd to your desktop in 1 folder...run the installer, and your good to go. =) | 17:27 |
| chrisdown | *do i do | 17:27 |

| Rolaulten | Hello, whenever in terminal I try and bring up a gedit file (or what ever you want to call them), I enter the command (sudo gedit /the/file/path) hit enter and nothing happens | 17:28 |
| chrisdown | marfi - lists it as 'configured video device', not nvidia | 17:28 |
| dLightning | Hey all! | 17:28 |
| Marfi | torx1704, yup, sudo apt-get install wine. you may want to look on the wine website (http://winehq.com) and add it to the repositories. the howto is on their site | 17:28 |
| Marfi | chrisdown, have you enabled the nvidia card with the restricted driver manager? | 17:29 |
| ushimitsudoki | torx1704: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft | 17:29 |
| bofh80 | zzdds, you could try updating to the bleeding edge ubuntu first? the alpha's of ubuntu 8.10? simply typing update-manger -d into a terminal, should give you the distribution update option | 17:29 |
| chrisdown | marfi - it came up with that on first run, but it's disappeared now. when i tried to install it 404'd. | 17:29 |
| Brandon_ | Is there a way to run a diff function on two server's file systems. | 17:29 |

| Marfi | chrisdown, then you need to get the network back up to download / install it. the file will be nvidia-glx, unless you have a legacy card | 17:30 |

| matthew_ | any ideas? | 17:39 |
| typedestereo | my wireless card doesn't recognise my router, but I know it's not a problem of range because a few other devices further away from it have no issue connecting...could a faulty driver be to blame? | 17:40 |
| murlidhar | any ideas ? | 17:40 |
| chrisdown | matthew_ - is that really a linux question? | 17:40 |

| crackbadger | that dont involve installing compiz? | 19:22 |

| ksbalaji | frank23, thanks for ext2fs info. And is ext3 difficult to be compressed and backed up? | 19:28 |
| cdm10 | ejer: I know very well what a regular expression is and how to use it. A period represents any character, and an asterisk represents the previous character repeating any number of times... hence, ".*" will match anything. You're describing wildcards, which I actually tried using. | 19:28 |
| bobertdos | ksbalaji: ext3 isn't so hard to back up in my opinion. If that's what you want to do, I recommend partimage. There is a utility that allows Windows to read ext2/3 filesystems too. | 19:28 |
| Uplink | Im having major bugg problems with eclipse(python dev plugin) and java. please helpppp | 19:28 |
| crackbadger | ShackJack: I enabled composting manager do I just drag the Screenlet folder into the Themes manager? | 19:29 |

| Uplink | java is making my eclipse crash... whats wrong? | 19:29 |
| ShackJack | crackbadger: No they are spearate, but I assume they required compositing... You should be able to install screenlets via Add/Remove programs, no? | 19:29 |

| cdm10 | ejer: I've figured out the problem, it wasn't in quotes, and zsh was interpreting the asterisks as wildcards for itself, rather than passing them to tar. | 19:30 |
| Uplink | Studiosus, gcj? | 19:30 |
| frank23 | ksbalaji: http://www.fs-driver.org/download.html here for windows driver. the file system shouldn't affect the ability to compress and backup the files on it. not sure about creating a backup image of the drive | 19:30 |

| ShackJack | greenman: It should work fairly well for you... There also fluxbuntu or something that uses and even more stripped window mgr, but XCFE is very gnome like | 19:57 |
| core_ | Uplink, i have found : envyng-gtk - install the ATI or the NVIDIA driver | 19:57 |
| core_ | envyng-qt - install the ATI or the NVIDIA driver | 19:57 |
| core_ | envyng-core - install the ATI or the NVIDIA driver | 19:57 |

| core_ | ok | 19:57 |
| crackbadger | ShackJack: no its not there | 19:57 |
| unop | torx1704, what kind of blank window? | 19:57 |
| crackbadger | ShackJack: i tried Alt+F2 aswell\ | 19:58 |
| ShackJack | crackbadger: Sure you installed it... can you run via command - screen - double tab to see options... | 19:58 |
| core_ | Uplink, cool :) | 19:58 |
| torx1704 | it says sources.list (/etc/apt) -gedit window | 19:58 |
| crackbadger | yea the command "screen" works | 19:58 |
| Uplink | core_, then run it and it will pick the best driver for it :] | 19:58 |
| score | during the hardy install, is there a way to select the text-mode installer manually? | 19:58 |
| core_ | Uplink, yep, now i'm running update :>> | 19:59 |
| ShackJack | crackbadger: no not screen screen then double tab to see if program is there (or name of it) as option | 19:59 |
| unop | torx1704, actually, forget that and use this command. (copy and paste it in your terminal). sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list <<<"deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free" | 19:59 |
| crackbadger | ShackJack: the screen command works but theres no GUI for it | 19:59 |

| jokkaa | Hey all. does anyone know if its possible to find different "skins" for ubuntu compiz panels? thx.. | 20:00 |
| score | frank23: okay, but when i'm on the alternate cd, i can't get dmraid to work because it's missing a module | 20:00 |
| core_ | Uplink, one more Q - is 64 bit version has some advantages vs 32 bit? | 20:00 |
| ShackJack | crackbadger: K run that... you may have to put a command in your sessions so that they start automatically.. not sure | 20:00 |
| frank23 | score: hmmm... I know nothing about RAID setups. sorry | 20:00 |
| crackbadger | ShackJack: cool this looks like the one | 20:00 |

| hellcattrav | cos currently synaptic9and package kit in fedora) error out if your not connected to the net | 20:17 |
| ShackJack | hellcattrav: Yep, you don't need to be connected to remove... | 20:17 |

| ubuntu | Hi. I tried to install gutsy, hardy and intrepid, but each one doesn't correctly find my existing partition table. When I select manual partitioning, it only offers an option to create a new partition table in /dev/sda. Here's my fdisk: http://dpaste.com/74787/. Any ideas? | 20:24 |
| chalcedony | Ictinike: did you put that command into google directly? there are a LOT of comments etc | 20:24 |
| MrMadMoneyMan | I am in the middle or learning how to use the bind DNS and I have 2 questions... 1. How does Bind resolve names like google.com when I have not given it any configuration info to do that resolution? 2. I can get bind to resolve a name like computer2.localdomain, is there a way I can just get it to resolve the name "computer2"? | 20:25 |
| zzdds | if i have a laptop with VGA-out (intel integrated graphics card) is it possible to set up a multi-display - like have a separate desktop on each monitor??? | 20:25 |
| ShackJack | zzdds: No the VGA is a dump of your lappy screen... | 20:25 |
| zzdds | ShackJack: ok thanks | 20:26 |
| CarlFK | zzdds: maybe. for me I need to use the nvidia drivers | 20:26 |
| zzdds | CarlFK: not a nvidia card though | 20:26 |
| CarlFK | zzdds: nvidia isn't the only one that can do it :) | 20:27 |

| ShackJack | zzdds: In general the video out on notebook just replicates the signal going to the vid card - think of a headphone jack vs lappy sound. | 20:27 |
| ShackJack | *replicates signal going to LCD | 20:27 |

| kaie | outbriber, thanks so far. I'll walk over to the machine in person | 20:30 |

| kaie | outbriber, you did help, thanks a lot | 20:30 |
| steveire | I think it's something about bootflags. Which partition needs to be the bootable one? My exsiting ubuntu, vista, or the dell media center thing? | 20:30 |
| ferfactor | anyone here know a tuto that shows how to install a S.O linux un a independent Hard Disk | 20:31 |
| m_emam | <steveire> ----> try to use the GParted live CD ... it may help fixing that partition table | 20:31 |
| outbriber | kaie: doing it on the machine, rather than over ssh might also be the problem, I can't get it to work over ssh on my own machine | 20:31 |
| rwaite | ugh. i took my laptop apart and put it back together and now my wifi won't work... >:| the card is detected fine, but it does not see any AP's | 20:32 |
| steveire | m_emam: Do you know anything about bootflags? | 20:32 |
| rwaite | i mustve messed something up | 20:33 |
| bofh80 | rwaite, you sure you didn't disconnect the little aerials attached to the wifi card? | 20:33 |
| m_emam | <steveire> ---> Bootflags won't make diffirence | 20:33 |
| rwaite | bofh80: the antennas? i did, but i put them back. now it isnt working. doesnt make much sense | 20:33 |
| rwaite | unless i shorted the card out, but then i dont think it would be detected | 20:34 |
| m_emam | <steveire> ---> if your HD is working, it will be readed | 20:34 |
| bofh80 | rwaite, where you sure to check they pushed on correctly(they are little buggers), and in the same order you took them off? | 20:34 |
| steveire | what will the gparted livecd do? My hd works fine. I currently use gutsy and want to do a clean hardy install | 20:34 |
| rwaite | they are labelled, so i think? and i pushed them on till they clicked... unless that's not good enough? | 20:35 |

| amenado | Frozenball-> well you can not put one in the background if it requires interactive | 20:37 |
| bofh80 | rwaite, LOL. probably spilt something, or maybe the speakers . . . | 20:37 |
| guntbert | Frozenball: append & to the command, ie myprog &, if you want it to survive closing the connection you need nohup too | 20:37 |

| m_emam | <DavidCanarias> ---> K3B is the best i think | 20:44 |
| user__ | I know there's a place that mounts /boot there and I assume if I just remove that it will default to on the root partition correct? | 20:44 |

| kungpow | oioi | 21:23 |

| _Doonz | YAYAYAAAAAA | 21:25 |
| _Doonz | thanx | 21:25 |
| omar | pedro, is your theme a window border theme ? | 21:25 |
| AzizLight | unop: everytime I try I get this error: mount: No medium found | 21:25 |
| anyone | Umm. I have an iptables problem. I say "sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --cmd-owner wget -j DROP" and it tells me "iptables: Invalid argument". I googled around and some websites said that it was because of a mismatch between iptables and the kernel. I understand that, but I need some idea of how to proceed. | 21:26 |
| croSmiley | AzizLight: what are you tryning o mount? | 21:26 |
| pedro | omar: i think its everything | 21:26 |
| omar | pedro, lol wait | 21:26 |
| pedro | omar: gtk theme it says | 21:27 |
| unop | croSmiley, I'm not sure xprop lists the window position and geometry | 21:27 |
| omar | pedro, choose art, other themes, gtk themes | 21:27 |
| croSmiley | unop: ok, and what does? :) | 21:27 |
| AzizLight | croSmiley: I'm trying see the content of an MP3 CD, but when I ls /media/cdrom* all the folder are empty | 21:27 |
| gescape | hi | 21:28 |
| omar | pedro, i think it'll be downloaded | 21:28 |
| OvermindDL1 | Wouldn't an "mp3 cd" just be a normal data disc, are you sure the session was recorded correctly? | 21:28 |
| pedro | omar: but its like downloading 224 themes right now, not that i asked it to do it anyway | 21:28 |
| croSmiley | AzizLight: did you try mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom? | 21:28 |
| kungpow | oi | 21:28 |
| kungpow | ]this is rediculas | 21:29 |
| omar | pedro, lol maybe u'll find another nice theme | 21:29 |
| omar | pedro, did u get your theme from art.gnome.com ? | 21:29 |
| pedro | yes | 21:29 |
| gescape | I found couple of posts regarding a SATA disks performance in Ubuntu... some say it is a kernel related problem, some that it is a implementation of the module... | 21:29 |
| stodan | hi, is it possible to change gnome open dialog folder ordering? (i want hidden folders go after regular) | 21:29 |
| croSmiley | AzizLight: or try cat /etc/fstab | grep cdrom and see what should you mount... | 21:30 |
| pedro | omar: yes | 21:30 |
| gescape | have anyone came across any solution regarding SATA performance? | 21:30 |
| omar | pedro, then you will hopefully find it | 21:30 |
| omar | pedro, anyway you will get a lot of other themes so you won't waste time downloading them next time :-) | 21:31 |
| pedro | omar: i cant preview any themes, it says they got errors | 21:31 |
| gescape | the problem is... when you try copy a big amount of data from/to SATA disk in Ubuntu 8.04 the system literally dies... for example about 8GB took me over 30 mins to transfer between partitions... :( | 21:32 |
| omar | pedro, they finished downloading ? | 21:32 |

| OvermindDL1 | Quick question, say I have an external hard drive that connects by firewire400, do I need to do anything fancy to get Ubuntu to install correctly on it, or will it work fine as is (the boot manager is on an IDE drive, so that is a non-issue)? | 21:44 |

| _Doonz | Fajolou how do i set that? | 22:03 |
| LjL | steveire, uhm, i *suppose* you'd have to click on Write in the first screen, to let testdisk use the partition table it reconstructed itself... however i must say i wouldn't be entirely comfortable doing that on my own system. there is no doubt your partition table is messed up, but at least your disk is readable now | 22:03 |

| FAJALOU | ya np :) | 22:05 |
| FAJALOU | chao1: what is the extension of the thumbnails | 22:05 |
| Studiosus | max__ in order to use svn you need to import your files to svn first. | 22:05 |
| PyroHax0r | Studiosus: i understand source code and i have a general knowledge in programming, im just new to linux and would just like to know roughly how its done, a command in terminal or what? | 22:06 |

| Studiosus | PyroHax0r start from here for example: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/build-linux-kernel-module-against-installed-kernel-source-tree.html | 22:08 |
| max__ | they should release the ps3 graphic driver for linux | 22:08 |
| thearthur | do it a few times until it works then read "understndgin the linux kernl form oriley" and then look at the driver | 22:08 |
| steveire | LjL: Yeah, I would, but I think there's a missing linux partition in that suggested output. There should be one for my root partition, and one for home. I see one linux partition and one swap partition. | 22:08 |
| mano | perillux, checkout linux kernels on synaptics | 22:08 |
| PyroHax0r | thearthur: ahh, sounds a bit advanced for my knowledge with linux, i have a mate that knows a lot more about linux ill get him to give me a hand, in the meantime ill google a bit, thanks for all the help and advice guys | 22:08 |
| chao1 | For all of you out there that are christians you should go to http://www.ubuntuce.com/. They finally have a new release. | 22:09 |
| perillux | mano: I did, but I think there was only 2.6.24 stuff | 22:09 |

| PiTiBruno | help... | 22:11 |
| perillux | mano: I was asked by the ubuntu kernel team to test 2.6.27 they said "If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. | 22:11 |
| gilf | PiTiBruno: Hi, I need help, but nobody answers me, so, I can help you | 22:11 |
| PiTiBruno | Here's my question : I'm trying to get familiar with Linux by using Knoppix under VirtualPC | 22:11 |
| foranjeff | Hello room. I'm looking for help with a battery monitor problem. Anyone? | 22:12 |
| Studiosus | PyroHax0r some intro into kernel modules devel is here http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/node/1238/pdf | 22:12 |
| mano | perillux, you have all sources configured? | 22:12 |
| gilf | PiTiBruno: I don't know Knoppix... | 22:12 |
| perillux | mano: yes | 22:12 |
| PiTiBruno | if I just lanch Knoppix the mouse is stuck but if I enter knoppix i8042.noloop psmouse.proto=imps at the boot it works | 22:12 |
| mano | perillux, let me see if i found it | 22:12 |
| PiTiBruno | my question is : which boot file should I modify so that the command "knoppix i8042.noloop psmouse.proto=imps" is executed automatically at boot ? | 22:13 |
| guntbert | PiTiBruno: this is the support channel for ubuntu, not for knoppix | 22:13 |
| ezguy | is there a hardy image for install of the usbstick? | 22:13 |
| perillux | maybe it's available somewhere other than synaptic | 22:13 |
| PiTiBruno | sorry I was misleaded, maybe my question is also equivalent in ubuntu ? | 22:13 |
| perillux | mano: maybe it's available somewhere other than synaptic | 22:14 |
| gilf | PiTiBruno: With openSUSE I know how to help you but with an other os I don't know, try to "discover" /boot folder | 22:14 |
| FAJALOU | !usb | ezguy | 22:14 |
| ubottu | ezguy: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 22:14 |
| mano | perillux, check updates not published yet... im using -19 kernel and when i check that there was other kernels updates | 22:14 |
| PiTiBruno | I have opened the iso of knoppix (using windows, please don't be mad at me) and I have a /boot directory | 22:15 |
| perillux | mano: what do you mean "check updates not published yet"? in synaptic? | 22:15 |
| PiTiBruno | in there a folder is called "isolinux" | 22:15 |
| _Doonz | !samba | 22:15 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 22:15 |
| mano | perillux, in sources... last kernel available is 2.6.24-21 | 22:16 |
| gilf | PiTiBruno: don't horry ive window too, i found what you need, see /boot/grub/menu.lst | 22:16 |
| perillux | mano: ok, but where do I "check for updates not published yet?" | 22:16 |
| perillux | mano: like u said | 22:16 |
| guntbert | PiTiBruno: better ask in #knoppix | 22:16 |
| LjL | steveire: this is really just a guess, but i think sda4 really is an extended partition containing logical partitions, however it spans the range not only of the (windows) logical partitions it contains, but of the primary linux partitions too. it looks like a mess i cannot solve, anyway... remove the extended, and windows will be gone, leave it, and it won't be ok. if i'm reading this correctly, the linux partitions are just in the wrong places physically | 22:16 |
| _Doonz | Samba prolem here. I have a share that im trying to copy a file from xp to ubuntu. Uder the Samba Config gui it says the share is read/write but i get an access denied error when i try to copy the file onto the share | 22:17 |
| mano | perillux, with synaptic in repositories (hardy-proposed) | 22:17 |
| perillux | mano: can you explain how please? | 22:17 |
| PiTiBruno | gilf: er... there only the "isolinux" folder in "/boot" and I can't find "grub" in there | 22:17 |
| mano | perillux, open synaptic... | 22:17 |
| perillux | mano: done.... | 22:17 |
| guntbert | PiTiBruno: you really better ask in #knoppix | 22:17 |
| gilf | PiTiBruno: you just can chage it in an installed system | 22:18 |
| mano | menu configuration | 22:18 |
| mano | option repositories | 22:18 |

| jose1 | hola | 22:19 |
| perillux | mano: where in "updates"? I don't see an "updates" button... | 22:19 |
| gilf | PiTiBruno: to make linux boot with what you want you need to install it first | 22:19 |
| guntbert | PiTiBruno: then try the forums or google, its often the quicker way :-) | 22:20 |
| perillux | mano: I found it | 22:20 |
| steveire | LjL: Thanks for the tips. | 22:20 |
| guntbert | gilf: knoppix is mainly just a live CD | 22:20 |
| perillux | mano: it's in "repositories" | 22:20 |
| Keiyentai | are there any music creation tools for Ubuntu/Linux similar to fruity loops or Pro Tools? | 22:20 |
| PiTiBruno | ok you mean it's impossible to modify it from the files in the iso... bad luck | 22:20 |
| gilf | guntbert: lol sorry i didnt know | 22:20 |
| quaizar | hello, i have posted on the forums about trying to get my mic from my x-fi or my webcam working, any chance someone could take a look at the forum post or give me some ideas | 22:20 |

| mijac | how are you all | 22:21 |
| mijac | ? | 22:21 |
| mano | perillux, i have ubuntu in spanish so i dont really know the correct translation to english, but you should search where you configure repositories... I though dont recommend you to use that kernel because its not really tested like official updates | 22:21 |
| gilf | PiTiBruno: try ubuntu or openSUSE, they are my favourites OS's | 22:21 |
| mijac | well I have a question here | 22:21 |

| gilf | PiTiBruno: yes there are programs to change iso images, but i dont what you should change | 22:22 |
| Studiosus | PiTiBruno most probably you need to specified needed option in grub config file | 22:22 |

| Studiosus | PiTiBruno file you need is in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 22:23 |

| Studiosus | PiTiBruno as told above you need install your linux first to change it's boot params. or you should specify your needed option during boot of your LiveCD (manually). or you need to prepare and burn your own ISO image with needed option turned on | 22:26 |

| Fish-Face | but searching for packages containing files including "libstdc" and then searching for libc6 doesn't turn anything up | 22:35 |
| gilf | hi, ive a problem with graphical effects | 22:35 |
| didooofidooo | squarebracket <--- right click and "add to panel" | 22:36 |
| inspyre | eitri_: probly just boot to th ubuntu cd, reinstall the kernel | 22:36 |
| Studiosus | LjL your process should receive SIGTERM which it can handle as needed | 22:36 |
| kcman1 | ok so my FPS is siting between high 600's and mid 700's is this right or am i FUBAR?? | 22:36 |
| LjL | Fish-Face: yet, there ought at least to be a proper file called something containing "libstdc++-libc6"... in any case, the most likely candidates would be libstdc++5 and 6 | 22:36 |
| didooofidooo | gilf <-- what is your gaphic card? | 22:36 |
| wnstn | what are the new compiz fusion plug-ins and animations hardy users can look forward to in intrepid? | 22:36 |
| gilf | didooofidooo: ati radeon hd | 22:36 |
| LjL | Studiosus: it can handle it, yes, but if there's nothing in the logs at the moment it receives it, it won't know whether or not it's a shutdown, will it? | 22:36 |
| Fish-Face | LjL, aye, but I have both of those installed :| | 22:37 |
| didooofidooo | gilf <-- did you install your ATI module? | 22:37 |
| kreg_work | any grub help? ubuntu / is on /dev/sda6 and I need to put grub on /dev/sda3 | 22:37 |
| wnstn | kcman: 600-700 frames per second? | 22:37 |
| Fish-Face | Hmm | 22:37 |
| LjL | Fish-Face: perhaps let's start from the beginning - why do you need that file? | 22:37 |
| Fish-Face | To run a binary | 22:37 |
| gilf | diddoofidooo: yes | 22:37 |
| Keiyentai | How does one install Jack Server? Rose Garden keeps saying it failed to connect to it | 22:37 |
| Fish-Face | Same story as the others on the 'net who need it, it seems | 22:37 |
| LjL | Fish-Face: i suspect that, which binary? it's likely made for another distribution, where there is that library | 22:38 |
| kreg_work | i've booted the ubunto live cd. just don't know how to tell it do put grub on /dev/sda3 and that the root / is on /dev/sda6 | 22:38 |
| didooofidooo | gilf <-- so what is the problem? | 22:38 |
| Fish-Face | LjL, aye, it's supposedly a generic Linux binary, so obviously the assume we all have this library | 22:38 |
| eitri_ | inspyre: I don't want to reinstall ubuntu.. I've finally gotten it the way I like it.. | 22:38 |
| Studiosus | LjL I'm not quite sure, but you can try to determine if shutdown is in process by looking what current runlevel is | 22:38 |
| stefan_ | if anybody knows how to install a tv.caRD, PLEADE ANSWER | 22:38 |
| LjL | Fish-Face, unfortunately there is no such thing as a really "generic" linux binary though, as distributions (and versions) have all sort of different naming conventions | 22:38 |
| Fish-Face | it's for the game "n" from metanet. I have installed in either gutsy or feisty, I'm pretty sure, and had to go through this process | 22:38 |
| Fish-Face | mm | 22:39 |
| tdseth | can someone please tell me how to completely remove mysql, including all of the config files? | 22:39 |
| rconan | Fish-Face, now it's not often I see you asking for help | 22:39 |
| tdseth | so thatI can reinstall it. | 22:39 |
| gilf | diddoofidooo: all programs that use opengl(games and videos) blink and are "separated" of the window | 22:39 |
| Fish-Face | rconan, O HAI | 22:39 |
| Keiyentai | nvm got it | 22:39 |
| tdseth | apparently something went fubar when installing mythtv. | 22:39 |
| eitri_ | inspyre: I think I found a way that will work. Just gotta print it out before I try: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 22:39 |
| Studiosus | tdseth dpkg --purge mysql? | 22:39 |
| Fish-Face | hehe, are you in brisl, conan? | 22:39 |
| rconan | Fish-Face, no, unfortunately not | 22:39 |
| stefan_ | thanks | 22:39 |
| guntbert | LjL: have a look at http://linux.die.net/man/8/shutdown, "All processes are first notified that the system is going down by the signal SIGTERM " | 22:39 |

| ubottu | Fish-Face and rconan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 22:39 |
| rconan | Fish-Face, hardly on topic methinks, i wonder if anyones used that on themselves before | 22:40 |
| didooofidooo | gilf <-- sometimes Upgrade is enough | 22:40 |
| kcman1 | wnstn yes that is where i am siting | 22:40 |
| Fish-Face | jowls | 22:40 |
| kcman1 | wnstn according to glxgears | 22:40 |
| tdseth | apt apparently screwed the mysql install when installing mythtv... and | 22:40 |
| didooofidooo | gilf <-- upgrade your kernel and your graphic card module | 22:40 |
| tdseth | and dpkg doesn't own it... | 22:40 |
| wnstn | kcman1 what game are you trying to play? | 22:40 |
| gilf | diddoofidooo: i cant update more than they are | 22:41 |
| tdseth | sudo apt-get purge mysql doesn't see to get rid of it completely either. | 22:41 |
| LjL | Fish-Face: uhm... unless i've got the wrong file - it works here | 22:41 |
| kcman1 | wnstn native ubuntu cedega apps wine all of them do not work | 22:41 |
| LjL | Fish-Face: is it this? http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet/downloads.html | 22:41 |
| Fish-Face | LjL, er, that's somewhat... interesting! What si-- yes, that's it | 22:41 |
| kcman1 | they either will not install or just plain out will not play | 22:41 |
| gilf | diddoofidooo: thisalso happens when i use opensuse | 22:41 |
| rconan | LjL, that would be the one i believe | 22:41 |
| LjL | Fish-Face: let me run an strace. here i just start ./n_v14 and it loads | 22:41 |
| Fish-Face | LjL, can you try and find what package supplies the file | 22:42 |
| wnstn | hmm. open gl is installed cuz your running glx gears, right? | 22:42 |
| unop | LjL, it might be possible to ascertain the runlevel from the script | 22:42 |
| LjL | Fish-Face: if i have it, then yes i can. hold on | 22:42 |
| Fish-Face | lovely, cheers | 22:42 |
| didooofidooo | gilf <-- Ooo!! are you sure this is not a Hardware problem? | 22:42 |
| kcman1 | wnstn everything in xorg.conf is generic | 22:42 |
| kcman1 | wnstn so yeah i guess i am opengl | 22:43 |
| wnstn | what kind of 3dcard do you have? | 22:43 |
| LjL | unop: i'll investigate that possibility, yeah. although i'd also love to have the warning message, but man shutdown says you only get it from /etc/nologin *if* a delay was given | 22:43 |
| gilf | diddoofidooo: yes, everything works fine without grpahical effects and with windows xp | 22:43 |
| Fish-Face | rconan, what are you here for? lurking? | 22:43 |
| kcman1 | wnstn get ready for this intel corp mobile 945gm | 22:43 |

| rconan | Fish-Face, indeed | 22:44 |
| gilf | diddoofidooo: and another problem (maybe related) blur doesnt work | 22:44 |
| rconan | i have it open when I'm bored | 22:44 |

| Fish-Face | LjL, interesting, don't think I have that package | 22:44 |
| multi_io | can anyone play the videos at http://www.thedailyshow.com/ with flash under Linux? | 22:44 |
| LjL | Fish-Face: not the same file, but likely to provide the symlink for it, checking | 22:44 |
| Fish-Face | could you ascertain which repo it comes from? | 22:44 |
| Fish-Face | indeed | 22:45 |
| tdseth | or how can I force apt-get to completely remove mythtv, and then reinstall it? | 22:45 |
| Fish-Face | near enough to probably be compatible if I manually symlink it anyway ^^ | 22:45 |
| didooofidooo | gilf <-- I guess that a Post on the Ubuntuforums.org may help you more than me .... sorry | 22:45 |
| Barracuda | Hi Am running Kubuntu 8.04 and after running update last night. My Kwallet wasn't able to start at log in and therefore my knetworkmanager wasn't able to connect to the network. Does any one know what is going here Thanks | 22:45 |

| Fish-Face | LjL, do you know what package that's from | 22:47 |
| LjL | Fish-Face: that link? i bet from the very same libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2, although it's hard to trace symlinks for sure | 22:47 |
| Fish-Face | oh of course what am I on about | 22:48 |
| rataplan_ | hello | 22:48 |

| deepfriedsquirre | Yeah to me? | 23:19 |
| deepfriedsquirre | or someone else? | 23:19 |
| tyg13 | deepfriedsquirre: Yeah, you should defrag it first | 23:19 |
| Swish | how do I find out what changed in the 2.6.15-52.71 kernel? | 23:19 |
| deepfriedsquirre | I see. But I don't need to do anything with an ext3 one first, yes? | 23:19 |
| tyg13 | deepfriedsquirre: Not really, there is no fragmentation in ext3 | 23:19 |
| tyg13 | !ext3 | 23:19 |
| ubottu | ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 23:19 |
| tyg13 | !ext2 | 23:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2 | 23:20 |

| hellcat-- | Ello | 23:20 |
| hellcat-- | anyone use cron-apt much? | 23:20 |
| Swish | what is this fallacy that everyone keeps perpetuating about no fragmentation in ext3? | 23:20 |
| Swish | it does fragment. | 23:20 |
| tyg13 | wil_: Kill the process. Retry it. If it doesn't work then come back | 23:20 |
| tyg13 | Swish: Not as bad as NTFS | 23:20 |
| Swish | perhaps it has better resistance than other FSs like NTFS, but saying "oh, it doesn't fragment" is a bald-faced lie :) | 23:20 |
| ubunalso | im trying to get WEP running on my Thinkpad R51 on 8.04.. ipw2200 wasnt enable, so i modprobe'd it and the ieee802111 driver.. how do i get ubuntu to use these drivers instead of the atheros drivers? | 23:21 |
| tyg13 | Swish: I understand that. But I'm just giving a comparison. Compared to NTFS, EXT3 has almost no fragmentation | 23:21 |
| wil_ | tyg13: thanks, I'll try | 23:22 |
| Swish | now you are. before, you were just saying in absolute terms that ext3 doesn't fragment :>" | 23:22 |
| gaintsura | could someone walk me through (fully, because for some reason I must be doing something wrong) removing and re-installing video for ATI on hardy | 23:22 |
| Gman99999 | Is it worth going to ubuntu 64 bit at the moment? | 23:23 |
| tyg13 | Swish: Sorry for my incorrectness. I'll try to get my facts right. I have almost no current knowledge about EXT3. | 23:23 |
| Swish | :) | 23:23 |
| tyg13 | Gman99999: If you have a 64-bit processor | 23:23 |
| d4x02 | hey how do I change a users name | 23:23 |
| gaintsura | Gman99999: yes and no, there isnt full support for 64bit yet, not everything works | 23:23 |
| d4x02 | anyone? | 23:23 |
| Swish | it's a more stable FS than xfs or reiser, that's for sure | 23:23 |
| tyg13 | d4x02 | 23:23 |
| d4x02 | yes? | 23:23 |
| gaintsura | tyg13: not necessarily, I had problems getting wifi to work in 64bit | 23:23 |
| Swish | Gman99999, only if you have more than 4GB RAM and care about the small performance hit you get with x32 kernel. | 23:24 |
| Swish | personally given a 4GB RAM or less computer I'd go with x32 | 23:24 |
| Swish | above 4GB I'd really have to ask myself if I needed x64 for anything. | 23:24 |
| unop | saying extX is more stable than reiser could be deemed a bald-faced lie :) | 23:24 |
| ubunalso | reiser's a killer FS.. so how do I get ubuntu to use ipw2200 instead of the atheros drivers it configured at install time? | 23:24 |
| ravet | What is it that doesn't work with 64-bit? | 23:24 |
| wiram | Swish: why is xfs less stable than ext3? | 23:24 |
| Swish | unop, I'm not sure you're right about that ;) | 23:24 |
| Gman99999 | which is the best filesystem to go with right now? | 23:25 |
| unop | Swish, and i am not sure you are either :) | 23:25 |
| gaintsura | ubunalso: ndiswrapper afaik, if not that, checkout madwifi | 23:25 |
| erUSUL | Swish: with 4GB ram you can loose a good chunk of it with 32 bits the mark is 3-3,5GB | 23:25 |
| Swish | based on what I read and people's horror stories, and the amount of time ext3 has been in the wild and battle tested... xfs and reiser do not seem to be as stable to me. | 23:25 |
| unop | Gman99999, depends on your needs -- there is no "best" | 23:25 |
| Swish | erUSUL, not on ubuntu. | 23:25 |
| === tsukasa_ is now known as tsukasa | ||
| Gman99999 | ok so 64 bit support sucks for right now, there aren't any 64bit applications that are out with linux to benefit from the 64 bitness yet is there? | 23:26 |
| Swish | the x32 kernel will use PAE or whatever (highmem kernel option) to map in all 4GB | 23:26 |
| wiram | Swish: ah, k | 23:26 |
| gaintsura | Gman99999: pretty much, its getting there, but slowly | 23:26 |
| Gman99999 | the 64bit kernel sucks too? | 23:26 |
| Gman99999 | well not sucks | 23:26 |
| gaintsura | that I don't know | 23:26 |
| Swish | "has less support" | 23:26 |
| Swish | yes. | 23:26 |
| Gman99999 | ahh k thanks guys | 23:26 |
| Swish | same with x64 on the windows side | 23:26 |
| gaintsura | I had a lot of driver/hardware problems with ubuntu 64bit | 23:26 |
| gaintsura | yeah | 23:26 |
| Swish | if your limited set of used applications are all available (and stable) in x64 and so are your drivers... might be no reason not to make the switch | 23:27 |
| gaintsura | I'd love to get 64bit working on here, because then I'd be using my system at full ability instead of half = | 23:27 |
| Gman99999 | how does ubuntu do with dual channel memory? | 23:27 |

| ravet | erUSUL: Anything in particular that I should be aware about? Or is there any good reason not to get the 64-bit version? | 23:30 |
| timob | erUSUL: how about suspend to ram? any problems... | 23:30 |
| daekdroom | blip-, not really. I'm kinda sure that you won't run a 64-bit efficient app at a notebook, neither use 3Gb RAM+ | 23:31 |
| Swish | try all your favorite apps/hardware/drivers in x64. If they all work, you can decide to switch | 23:31 |
| erUSUL | ravet: w32codecs wont work and for the java plgin in firefox you will have to use the icedtea version | 23:31 |
| Swish | if some stuff breaks... don't switch. | 23:31 |
| erUSUL | ravet: that's all i can think of | 23:31 |
| timob | ...with 4gb 64 bit | 23:31 |
| erUSUL | timob: i use a desktop pc sop i hardly suspend ... | 23:31 |
| Swish | here's a better question: are there any compelling x64 applications that REQUIRE x64 ubuntu to run? | 23:31 |
| Swish | otherwise, why are people bothering? | 23:31 |
| daekdroom | not at all | 23:31 |
| ravet | erUSUL: So if I don't care about JAVA or w32codecs (for .wma?) I should just get the x64-version? | 23:32 |
| Gman99999 | I'm having the weirdest bugs happen with compiz and kde and gnome, now i can't even use the nvidia driver anymore, it says its using glx, but also saying its not, Ive checked the xorg, it looks fine, all in an effort to get compiz working on kde, and get awn working on kde | 23:32 |

| daekdroom | ravet, RealMedia files too | 23:32 |
| gaintsura | Swish: the reason for 64bit is faster processing, more data handling in a shorter amount of time. I don't think there is a requirement for 64bit, but it is faster, and in my opinion, better if all of your apps support it | 23:33 |
| erUSUL | ravet: i can see wmv (not all of them but most of them) and java works in firefox (keep in mind that i am only talking about the firefox plugin for applets) but it is not the official sun plugin but one based on icedtea. The jre and jdk are aviable in 64 bit | 23:34 |
| Swish | gaintsura, that's a load of bull btw. :) Show me some benchmarks on *particular* applications that run faster in x64, and I'll agree. I think there are some h.264 codecs that do. But saying in general the average user will see significant performance improvement from x64... I don't think so. | 23:34 |

| StepNjump | thanks Ubottu | 23:38 |
| LjL | kcman: glxgears' fps only (roughly) tells you whether or not you have any 3d acceleration enabled. if you want to benchmark anything meaningful, use GLOBS for instance (although i'm not sure there's currently an ubuntu package) | 23:39 |
